    [Note recorded between baptisms dated 13 Apr 1656 and 20 Apr 1656 (this one starts the next page). The above source on p. 58 reports the baptism date as "20 day 2 mo", and so one is inclined to believe the page break in this source split a group of baptisms on the same day. In either case, the baptism date precedes the report birth date. Possibly a birth in March was mistranscribed in May, but that is speculation, the originals not being available online.]

    [Note: this deed shows the father only had two surviving children on 25 Oct 1698, so Benjamin had died by this date leaving no heirs.]
