  3. The birth record uses the year 1700, which by typical usage would mean 1700/01. The births of siblings give no clearcut clue, as 4 Feb 1699/00 would be 16 months after Bethiah and 26 months before Mary, while 4 Feb 1700/01 would be 28 months after Bethia and 14 months before Mary. MF5G, Vol. 7, p. 18, gives 4 Feb 1700 with no further information and no attempt to disambiguate this date.
