↑ Hepzebah Sherwin is names last in the distribution of the estate of John Cole in 1738 (Essex Probate 5978: Jonathan, eldest, to pay Daniel, Mary, Hannah and then Hepzebah). This is presumed to indicate she was the youngest. She is listed as the second child of 5 by the Cole Genealogy, but the reason for this is not explained, and making her last aligns her approximate birthdate much better with the age of her husband.
