    Benjamin Stiles "was born at Boxford, Mass., Nov. 4, 1716, probably, although the record at Boxford, reads as follows: "Benjamin, born 25 May, 1717, bapt. 4 Nov., 1716."
    [Note: this statement is confusing and seems unlikely as it claims two separate events that are usually recorded by different agencies, leading one to suspect that the alleged "record at Boxford" is either a compiled source, or a family record. See the citation of the church record below.]

    [Note: this entry is not dated. The last date above is 4 Nov 1716, but the bracket that collects all the entries on that date stops two lines above this record. Two entries below, the next entry with a date says July 1717. This could be a baptism on 4 Nov 1716, but most likely that is a misinterpretation, and it is some date in the two months between his recorded birth and July 1717. The baptism record above Benjamin is Mehitabel d/o Benj. Archer, whose recorded birth is 7 March 1717, which supports that this baptism is some date in 1717.]
