  4. Many sources give a date of 24 Jan 1722 (e.g., Source:Bock, Margaret Buckridge. Descendants of Nathaniel Dickinson, p. 74. Since this date is not found in the Sunderland records, it is not known if it has any merit. Some sources (e.g., Source:Boltwood, Lucius M. Genealogies of Hadley Families) do not even include John in this family presumably because no birth record has been located. The cited deed shows he belongs, and the age at death gives his approximate birthdate.
