[Note: Source:Anderson, Robert Charles. Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Vol. 6, p. 333, credibly refutes this birth estimate on several grounds: 1) before parents recorded marriage; 2) marriage date suggests born later; 3) age inflation common for very old people; 4) names suggests born soon after immigration which Anderson places about 1635 based on first known record in New England 3 Mar 1635/36. The father did not go to Yarmouth until 1638 according to both Anderson and Holman.]
