Prescot, Ebenezer, s. Jonas and Thankfull, July 19, 170[3].
[Apparently the original record is worn. No explanation of the basis for making this 1703. Possibly a baptism record? However, it conflicts with the birth of brother Jonas 6 months later as reported by this same source. So this year is probably a bad assumption. The age at death^S3 suggests 1700 is the correct date.]
