    BARRAT, Jno., s. of William and Sarah, [born] Feb. 6, 1660.
    [Note: both birth and baptism show year 1660 with name of month, so no clue about double dating. Baptism not in chronological order but recorded with family. Mother died 1661, but in autumn, not proximate to 1661 version of date, so probably not due to this childbirth (maybe next?), Lydia born late 1657, so 1659/60 would be two years, a reasonable spacing, and 1660/61 would be three, also reasonable.]
