    GETCHELL, Dorcas, d. Samuell and Elizabeth, [born] May 8, 1685.
    [Note: this date is impossible given the birth of a sister Eleanor 2 Nov 1684. The earliest date would be about Aug 1685, but the surrounding records on the page where this birth was recorded are from Sept. and Oct. and even November. Since even the handwritten record is clearly a copy, it is probable it was mistranscribed. Hoyt, p. 174, says "Sep. or Oct.?", but the shape of the word May is more like Nov that either of those two.]
