Source:Pierce, Frederick Clifton. Peirce Genealogy : Being the Record of the Posterity of John Pers, an Early Inhabitant of Watertown, in New England, Who, p. 250, reports Thomas' birth as 3 Sep 1661. This is clearly incorrect: appears to be the marriage date of the parents (albeit misreported, should be 3 Oct 1661), not Thomas' birth, which is found in the records, as is also the baptism, in 1662.
