    [Note: the indices in the familysearch collection Source:Massachusetts, United States. Massachusetts Births and Christenings, 1639-1915 list this birth 5 times. It is unknown if some are pointing at town copies, etc., but only one gives the correct date. The others give 2 Jun 1724 (twice), Jun 1724, and Jun 1725. There is a clear subscript at the end of the month name, which would not be used for Jun, so Jan'r. Further, since Rachel is a twin with Benjamin, one can confirm this against the date found for Benjamin.]
