  3. Bond, p. 605, reports this birth date as 8 Oct 1695. While his date appears to align better with the age reported in the baptism record, it is not clear what Bond's reasoning for presenting this date was. It could be he read the original records differently than did the compilers of the published records, it could be he made a typo, or it could be he stated his personal presumption as fact.
