Family:Samuel Oviatt and Mary Baldwin (1)

Between a page of entries dated mostly 1685 and entries dated between 1697 and 1703 (mostly 1701 to 1703), there is a note: Three leaves gone here. These 3 leaves probably contained the birth records of Samuel, John, and Alexander.

'Samuel,John,Alexander,Esther,Mary & Giles, children of Mary,w.of Samuel,bp.June 24,1711'

This same list of children is indexed under each of the children's names, with the order the same each time with the exception of the child whose name is being indexed (e.g., Esther,Samuel,John,Alexander,Mary & Giles). In all cases, except for the indexing of John and Alexander, the first 3 children listed are Samuel, John, Alexander, in that order. It is assumed, therefore, that Samuel was the eldest, followed by John, then Alexander.
