Defect 1

Cambridge records show two birth dates 11 Jan 1652[/53] (Savage's 11 Jan 1653) and 10 Jul 1653. These are too close together to represent distinct events, but must refer to the same person. See a discussion on Martha's page. Paige, in his History of Cambridge, uses the 10 Jul date and this seems to create a more typical pattern of births in the family, though there does not appear to be a categorical reason why one is right and one is wrong. --Jrich 04:19, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
