    RUSSELL, Humphrey, ch. Joseph and Judith, 17th, 5 mo. 1758, C.R.3. [25th, 5mo., P.R.22. [private record: a Russell family Bible]]

    The church record is from a page for the whole family, and is not likely a primary record (that is, created at the time of Humphrey's birth). Bible records of the family into which a person was born are more likely to be written at the time of the event, but we don't know if this bible was from his family of origin or his family after marriage.
