Charlestown, by w. Mary, had Joseph, b. 24 Oct. 1659, and at W. by w. Sarah,

July 1652, William Ballantine, and next, William Long, and d. 2 Apr. 1718, George,
Boston 1664, mariner, d. 12 Apr. 1714, in 90th yr. Easi. this surname is pervert. to
Holland, as in Geneal. Reg. VIII. 59, and lamentab. in the Index of same vol. tho. in one
of its references, the name is correct. Similar vexation in the Index of Vol. X.
confus. the differ. names of pp. 217 and 218.
