    WILLARD, Joseph, s. Capt. Benjamin and Sarah, [born] May 27, 1693.
    [Note: even though this is recorded in Grafton, and not in Sudbury, Willard says he was born in Sudbury, that he was one of the earliest settlers of Grafton, that his daughter was the first white child born there, suggesting the birth was recorded when he was an adult. Some of his younger siblings (i.e., born after him) are recorded in Sudbury, suggesting this is a correct analysis.]
