Person talk:Abigail Brockett (1)


Not seeing her birth date in the New Haven Vitals [12 February 2020]

I am looking at the original vital records together with the index that is on archive.org, and I am not seeing her birth anywhere. The index is pretty accurate, but I am looking at both. Could this be confusion with her baptism date? I also have an image with her baptism date and it is written strangely and grouped together weird.


Mary Rutherford 24 1mo 50. Ruth James also Abigaile Brockitt & Elizabeth Peake ye same day.

But below that is the baptism of Mercy Tuttle, and its written as:

"Mercy Tuttle ye 19th 3 mo 50" and then a little mark that appears to be an '11' But that wouldn't explain a date of 10 March. I cannot find this date anywhere, and I note that the other Brockett children only have baptism dates in the early years.--User:GenealogyGuy78 01:52, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
