    'Jonathan Bliss ... died about the beginning of the year 1687. His estate was inventoried ... sworn to, March 23, 1687, ...'

    The date his estate was inventoried does not seem consistent with burial in June - possibly one of the transcribers has misinterpreted an old-style date, but that would still have the inventory in the month before the burial.
