- The source for this person appears to be Source:Vinton, John Adams. Vinton Memorial, Comprising a Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn, 1648, p. 298, which shows "William and Deborah, twins, b. Feb. 19, 1680; d. young." What is found in Source:Bates, Samuel. Records of the Town of Braintree, 1640 to 1793 is p. 655: "William the son of William Savell & Deborah his wife borne Feby 19, 1680", and p. 656: "Willm. son of Will'm Savell & Deborah his wife born Feby. 9, 1680". There is no record of any birth of a Deborah Savell. There is no record of a child born to Samuel Savell, nor is there a particularly empty gap demanding a child (Feb 1678/79 to Oct 1681, 2 1/2 years between known children). And since the "twins" died young, it means this is not based on some further record of them, i.e., no mention in their father's probate, no marriage, etc. The date 19 Feb 1680 would usually mean 19 Feb 1680/81 which is only eights months before the birth of Bethiah, further suggesting this simply doesn't fit. So, William is, and Deborah probably is, an error on the part of Vinton.
