  4. To be of legal age at time of marriage, Joseph would need to be born by 1657. Thus the recorded birth in Lynn VRs of 1660 appears incorrect. Source:Backus, Mary Elizabeth Neilson. New England Ancestry of Dana Converse Backus, p. 104, shows that it appears to match the later ages of brother John.
