   PLACE, John, of Thomas and Hannah, [born] April 24, 170_.

   According to Parsons (see citation for TAG 79:76-81), the original records (after the fire) included:
   '[burned]Place was borne the 24^th Day of April 170[burned]'
   'John Place Son as aboues^d Was born[burned]'
   
   It appears that Arnold conflated these records. Parsons assigned the first record to the birth record of Ann, mentioned in the will of Thomas².

   In this article (published posthumously), Parsons presents evidence that James Arnold in Vital Record of Rhode Island 'conflated into one the separate lists of the births of the children of Thomas³ and Margaret (Stafford) [Place] and those of the children of Thomas² and Hannah (Cole) Place.'
   
   Based on a reading of the original (badly burned) records, plus the will of Thomas² Place and the known children of Thomas³, he presented a revised list of the children of each of these families. The revised list for Thomas and Hannah (Cole) Place (presented on pages 78-79) is:
   'i Mary³ Place, b. 5 Jan. 169[2/3?], ...
   ii Marbury Place, b. 5 May 169[5?]; ...
   iii Thomas Place, b. 2 Nov. 1697; ...
   iv Ann Place, b. 24 April 1700; unmarried when her father made his will.
   v Enoch Place, b. 10 May 170[2?], ...
   vi Samuel Place, b. 22 Dec. 17[04?], ...'
