Westcott Paris, of Jeremiah and Eleanor, died in his 3d year, Aug. --, 1673

Note that "in his 3d year" means that he was 2 years old. Given the birth dates of his closest siblings, he was likely born in the spring of 1671.

'Persis Westcott, b-Old Warwick, 1670, d-same, Oct., 1673.'
The discrepancy between sources in the month of his death suggest that he died in the 8th month, which would have been October in 1673, but might have been transcribed as August.
