    [Note: the purported date of birth would make Esther 13 years and 2 months at time of marriage. The age at death suggests a birth about Nov 1725. So there is almost zero chance this is correct. This source gives no basis, appears to pretty much copy from Source:Graves, John Card. Genealogy of the Graves Family in America, which likewise gives no basis, and the whole, suggesting a 9-year gap in children from Simeon to Martha, is of very questionable credibility. A birth in 1725 would place the birth in Hatfield where the family lived until after 1731.]
