birth date [26 November 2012]

I removed the birth date "1638/1649" in favor of Robert Charles Anderson's estimate of "say 1656" because it would make his parentage of some of his children unlikely, the earliest known child being the baptism of two daughters in 1682, and the marriages of many of his children around 1720 suggesting the bulk of them were born in the 1690s timeframe. Since there are no sources to justify the previous date, it seemed more prudent to rely on the expertise of Anderson. --Jrich 14:33, 26 November 2012 (EST)
