  4. The birth date is not found in Malden or Charlestown records, or elsewhere. Most sources give the birth as about 1648, calculated from age at death, and only a small handful of secondary sources give 5 May 1648 with no evidence it suspect. The baptism records at Charlestown (where the birth probably occurred) stop in 1642 until resuming in 1658.
