Children of Richard Child and Mehitable Dimmick: 4) Mehitable Child, b. 1666, m. 18 Jul 1691 Edward Garfield. Admitted to First Church 27 Apr 1690.
↑ Birth estimated to be about 1667 to place Mehitable inbetween Shubael 19 Dec 1665 and Experience 26 Feb 1669/70. Bond does not estimate a date, and the estimate of 1666 by Elias Child would be too close to Shubael and very unlikely. Even though no birth is recorded, Richard's will of 1694 mentions four older daughters not under age, so he must have had 4 daughters by his first wife. It makes sense that Mehitable would be the oldest since she is named after her mother.
