Defect 1 [27 February 2016]

How could a Mary b. 1653 marry in 1662? No such 1653 birth is found in Braintree records, and it appears Savage simply copied somebody else's work without investigation. The similarily of the birthdate given for the second Mary, 25 Oct 1653, and Rachel's birthdate, 26 Oct 1643, which was not recorded until Hannah was born in 1651 (here), suggests an early researcher mis-interpreted Rachel's record, and this is the error Savage copied. --Jrich 22:30, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
