    Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Swift & Elizabeth his wife was Born 26th. (12th) 1640.
    [In 1640, the 12th month would be Feb 1640/41, the question mark in GMS1 reflects the incompatibility of this date with the baptism recordS3. Since Elizabeth is recorded in a group with her siblings ranging from 1635-1643, this was clearly recorded after the fact and must be discounted.]
