  3. ↑ Obviously the marriage date in Boston is inconsistent with the date of the intentions. Their first child appears to be born in 12 Sep 1729. The intention seems to be transcribed correctly, and context of the surrounding records suggests the date is correct (53). No explanation is known. Worrisome however, is a record found in Source:Cemetery Transcriptions from the NEHGS Manuscript Collection for wife of Jeremiah Kingsbury in Dedham 22 Sep 1727. Is this a data entry error, the marriage being entered as a gravestone? No such gravestone is listed in Source:Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States. Church Records, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths, 1638-1845 or Source:Find A Grave. But if Jeremiah had a first wife who died 22 Sep 1727, then the intentions might be correct, with the marriage occurring soon after, in very early 1729? Such records have not been found, however.
