Person talk:Jerusha Fitch (1)


birth date [16 April 2012]

I removed the birth date of "19 FEB 1699" in Canterbury, Ct. It had no source, and my own searching did not find it recorded in the Barbour Collection for Canterbury. Then since the death date and birth date were both 19 Feb, it has the look of someone using old software that will not accept an estimated date, or something like that, so I presumed it was not a serious date. Both the article on the Fitch family in TAG, Vol. 46, plus the Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol. 22, estimate Jerusha's birth as about 1696. --Jrich 23:11, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
