↑ Presumably Jonas was not born just before his death, as that would be over 10 years after the previous sibling, and the mother would have been nearing fifty. It is assumed from the appearance of the records shows that the clerk intended to construct a birth record after hearing of the death, but was never informed of the birth date. No birth estimate is given by Source:Warren, Frank D. Descendants of John Ball, Watertown, Massachusetts, 1630-1635. There is no age at death. Warren lists Jonas last, and so the estimate here is about 1721 to preserve that order, but that may merely reflect that Warren did not have any idea. The mother would have been 40, the father 47, in 1721 so such a birth is possible, but there is also a gap about 1715 that could accommodate a birth without seeming unlikely.
