    [Note: no birth record of John is found. We know from his father's probate that he is the eldest son but don't know if he is the eldest child. It is presumed that the 6-year gap between the recorded birth of the twins and the date of baptism would likely be plenty of time for at least one more child to be born.]

    July 10th 1687. John, Elizabeth, Hanah children of John [and Christian (Woodbury)] Trask Sn'r baptized.
    [Note: the three children baptized together. Note that the additions in braces were added by the compiler and in this case, are wrong. John and explicitly named Christian baptize their daughter Elizabeth just 3 months later in Sept. The original record only says John Trask Sn'r, no wife named, and John Trask Sn'r is the one with wife Hannah.]
