[Note: Can't resolve all these dates!! Assume 1748 might be a misinterpretation of which year the marriage was in (e.g., submitted in 1748 as summary of previous year, etc.). Assume July was written when Nathaniel born, so several years later and the result of faulty memory. Whether Aug. 5 or Aug. 15, the published Vital Records which both say Aug. 5.]
