[Note: the first month of 1658, the way Jonathan's birth is record, would be March 1657/58, not 1658/59 as Smith says. Additionally, the context in the original records suggests 1657/58. However, March 1657/58 would conflict somewhat with birth of Huldah in June 1657. However, unlike Jonathan's birth, Huldah's birth is not actually found in the Braintree records, so it is unclear whether it is reliable enough to justify changing another date to a non-literal meaning...]
