- ↑ Source:Bullard, Edgar John. Bullard and Allied Families, 19, says "Their children are given in the Medway Vital Records as follows". In the published records, only the first three are, and they are listed as births while this sources refers to baptisms? The last 6 are not found in the published VRs, though three births of the six are found in Hubbardston VRs based on "private record of the Doctors Moses PHELPS, father & son". Both the Medway and Hubbardston VRs indicate church records were inspected and neither lists any of these baptisms. So their basis is unknown and the location of the births is uncertain.
- ↑ Bullard also identifies the wife as Susannah Wheaton, d/o David Wheaton of Medway. David Bullard and wife Susannah had a daughter Susannah born in Holliston in 1735. His wife Susannah d. in Medway in 1750 and he married Sarah Maxwell in July 1750. The purported birth of Hezekiah's wife is claimed to be 27 Mar 1751, a mere 8 months after this marriage, and no such birth is recorded to give this any authority.
Additional confusion is caused by the gravestone. According to Bullard, Susannah died 1 May 1804. The image of the gravestone is virtually unreadable, and the gravestone has a crack running through it. According to the Vermont state death record, based on a reading of the gravestone, the death was 11 May 1804 age 39. This works out to a birth in 1765 which is clearly impossible for a woman who married in 1769. A birth in 1751, as advocated by Bullard, would work out to age 55, and a birth in 1735 as found in the Holliston VRs would be age 69. The latter seems the most feasible to be misread as 39. If Hezekiah's wife was the Susannah Wheaton b. 1735, it would be very age appropriate for Hezekiah, but it would make her age 51 at the birth of the last child?
