Children of Deacon John Briggs and Hannah Rockett: Phineas, b. ca 1715. Will of his father names heirs of son Phineas Briggs. [Note: p. 125:273, gives the birth as "in 1718". The basis for either estimate is unknown as there is no date of death with an age attached (neither given in this article nor found in searching). The death is estimated based on the probate of the Phineas' will.]
