    Hanna Hoidon, the daughter of John Hoidon and Susanna his wiffe was borne the 2, mo 7th 1642.
    [Note: This date has traditionally been misinterpreted. The comma was not common in colonial documents, so one must suspect it was inserted by Bates to show his interpretation, namely 2 Sep 1642, not the 7 Apr 1642 as nearly universally reported. Braintree records are printed in NEHGR, p. 36:48, and do not contain the comma in that transcription. Regardless of Bates' deviances, surrounding records appear to be mostly day first, then month, except for Hannah and Ebenezer's two ambiguous records. Odd that people would interpret Hannah's birth as April, while Ebenezer's is in Sept, instead of Feb as would be required if they applied a consistent interpretation. Source:Anderson, Robert Charles. Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633, p. 892, interprets Hannah's birthdate as 2 Sep 1642.]
