The Births of the children of John and Mary Willet:
...
Catharine Willet was born ye 28th of the 6 m. 1735 in the after noon the 7th day of the week.
[Note: In old-styles dates, the sixth month is August. More info may be found here.]
[The seventh day of the week (Saturday) would be 23 Aug, not 28 Aug, in 1735. See note for death date.]

Catharine Willet dyed ye 26th of the 6'm 1735.
[Sic. Clearly she did not die 2 days before she was born. This suggests the records are hard to read. Probably she was born and died on the same date. Note the birth date says she was born the 7th day of the week (Saturday), which would have been 23 Aug in 1735, confusing the issue even more.]
