↑ The birthdate of 21 Nov 1657 comes from Source:Savage, James. Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England, Vol. 3, p. 323, but its basis, if any, has yet to be discovered. It does not appear to be in Hingham records, the Hobart Journal, and most secondary sources only give the birth as 1657 based on the age at death (e.g., Source:History of the Town of Hingham, Massachusetts, Vol. 3, p. 102).
