- ↑ Source:Bond, Henry. Family Memorials. Genealogies of the Families and Descendants of the Early Settlers of Watertown, Massachusetts, Including Waltham and Weston (1855), p. 372, says the parents owned the covenant 3 Oct 1697 and had John, Isaac, Elizabeth all baptized the same date (besides Susanna who is recorded in the records). Source:Morse, J. Howard. Morse Genealogy : Comprising the Descendants of Samuel, Anthony, William and Joseph Morse and John Moss : Being a Revision of the, p. 16, shows three children baptized before this date, including another John, another Elizabeth and a David. This would be 7 children born in about 8 1/2 years of marriage. The church records of this church do not appear to be online, unlike the East Precinct (cited above), so this cannot be confirmed, but it is strange 1) that there are so many children (would pretty much require multiple births), (2) that Bond who had access to the records would have missed this, 3) that baptisms would appear to have been postponed until owning the covenant, but yet there were other baptisms before this? Access to the church records is needed, as the presentation of the Morse Genealogy seems doubtful.
