    Final settlement of estate of grandfather John Smith names surviving children of deceased son Dean Smith: "Dean, Heman, Aseph, sons, and Merriam a daughter". [Note: Given that Esther appears to be oldest child, then Dean, and Asaph youngest, we are left not knowing whether Merriam or Heman is older. One is about 1725 and the other is about 1727, but it is a guess which is which. If this gravestone is him, as it appears to be, it is obviously an inflated age at death, suggesting a birth about 1717. Perhaps it off by 10 years?]
