  3. ↑ The History of Hingham appears to have misread the record for this child. It says Esther was baptized 21 Jun 1660. The record of baptisms comes from the Hobart Journal which on this date only mentions Elisha, not as a baptism, but as a birth, with no mention of an Ester. The fact that the History of Hingham reports the death of Elisha but does not seem to know who his parents are would also be explained by their misreading of the birth as Esther instead of Elisha. Source:New England Historic Genealogical Society. Early Families of New England, p. 5, puts an Esther in this family, but notes she died before her father's will of 1682, which appears to say that all evidence of her is based on the reading of the record in the Hobart Journal, and if you read it as Elisha, as the NEHGR transcript does, you gain a death record consistent with this child not being named in the father's will.
