    Benjamin Collens the son of Joseph Collens was born the sixth day of feburary one thousand six hundred eighty and seven
    [Note: if marriage date is correct as 8 Jan 1707 (see NEHGR, p. 151:14), presumably 1707/08, this is probably 6 Feb 1686/87 to allow him to be (almost) 21, perhaps rushed by first child born 8 Jul 1708.]
