  4. ↑ Unfortunately, at a time when familysearch.org could have added something by providing an independent indexing of the handwritten records, they apparently indexed the published vital records (film 844943), so offer no help to this farce of dates. It is hard to reconcile these dates, but since Hudson predated the published records, we have to assume he looked at some handwritten record. One could surmise he saw the church record that said eleventh month, i.e., Jan, somehow mistranscribed it as June, while the compilers of the VRs misinterpreted it as Nov.? It seems the only reasonable thing to do is to go with the town record of December. The first child was born Dec 1707, so none of these possibilities can be ruled out without more evidence.
