    [Note: conflicts with baptism. See online record and online record, but both appear to be copies, not originals. Since Asa's birth is recorded in 1767, plus the version recorded in Rindge, it seems probable 1765 is most likely the correct date.]

    [Note: Source:New Hampshire, United States. New Hampshire Birth Records, Early to 1900, here, incorrectly reports the year of birth as 1785 (the record says 1765 but was recorded out of chronological order following a 1784 birth). Note that the birth is indeed recorded as being in Andover by this source, which a holistic study of the family informs us is Andover, Mass, but the indexer at familysearch.org assumed this meant Andover, NH, making searching difficult, since as a result, neither birth place or birth year correctly represent what the actual record tells us. History of Rindge, p. 432, reports that "Sally, b. in Andover, Dec. 2, 1765". This report, and the incomplete listing of children clearly shows this source relied solely on the births as recorded in Rindge.]
