    James Blake & Hannah Macy were Married by Mr James Walker 6 : 12 : 82.
    [Note: this is listed near the end of the 1682 records, which combined with normal usage, suggests this should be interpreted as 6 Feb 1682/83. However, this would place the marriage three months after the birth of their daughter. So more probably this means 6 Feb 1681/82. The confusion is clearly evident in the literature, as Torrey gives the date as "6 Feb 1681, 1682/3, 1682". Source:Blake, Samuel. Blake Family gives the date as 6 Feb 1681 even though it usually prefers to use the modern year. There are no church records relevant to the first marriage to offer any confirmation.]
