↑Source:Savage, James. Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, 3:244, describes George as the son, "perhaps eldest", of Ephraim. Normally, would expect George to be born bef. 1643 based on assumption he was of legal age when he married in 1664, but as his parents married in Nov 1644, perhaps not... Ephraim b. 1648, so assume abt. 1646.
