    WYMAN, Rachel, d. of Nathan and Huldah, [born] July 31, 1724 [1725].
    [Note: it is not clear why the 1725 in brackets. Perhaps the compiler thinks the date is wrong because it is only 13 months after her brother Nathan was born. Perhaps it was placed amongst 1725 records, suggesting the year was misrecorded. Perhaps it was hard to read, or there was a duplicate that said 1725? To further complicate this, there is ambiguity over brother Elijah's birth date, which may or may not be an influencing factor, depending on which meaning is accepted for that. Sewall's History of Woburn, p. 657, reports Rachel's birth as 1724 and so unless further evidence is forthcoming, that seems the most likely case.]
