    Date given as "Feb. 3, 1701". This could mean 1700/1701 or 1701/02. Normally in this source (p. 1:7), one would expect it to mean 1700/01. The section "Notes on the Family of Deacon Edward Convers", p. 3:328 says 3 Feb 1702, suggesting it should be interpreted as 1701/02. Since the same author did both parts, he must have broken the rules he outlined in p. 1:7. (Arghh!)
