Liddia Ffackson the daughter of Richard Ffackson & Elizabeth his wiffe dyed 6th mo. [Aug] 2, 1663.
[Obviously, this death date of 2nd day of 6th mo. does not work when there is a birth date of 1st day of 7th mo. in the same year. The fact that both are numeric makes it very clear there is an error of recording here. Lydia is not mentioned in her father's will, so both these records probably apply to the same Lydia, and there are no obvious gaps in this family to squeeze a second Lydia. Source:Vinton, John Adams. Vinton Memorial, Comprising a Genealogy of the Descendants of John Vinton of Lynn, 1648, p. 312 says Lydia, b. 1 Sep 1663, d. "Aug. 2, 1663 [1664?]". Source:Cutter, William Richard. Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of Boston and Eastern Massachusetts, p. 4:1940, chooses to punt, and says Lydia b. 1 Sep 1663, d. 1663. Another approach might be to assume the town clerk misnumbered the month since it had just changed, and that the real death date was 2 Sep 1663. But all these are only guesses...]
