  4. Both genealogies give 1757 as the date of the marriage. Since the eldest known child was not born until 1762, it appears that the entry in the Warren church record concerning Lydia's 1757 admittance from the church in Cornwall does not necessarily indicate that she was Lydia Sacket at that time, since that entry also records her death as Lydia Sacket in 1808.
