Person talk:Joanna Larkin (1)

birth date [5 May 2015]

I am removing birth date 12 Jan 1647 in Sudbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.

12 Jan 1647 is her sister's birthdate as given by Wheeler Family in America, but is actually a misinterpretation of the correct value, 12 Mar 1647.

The family lived in Charlestown, not Sudbury.

Joanna's birth is not recorded under that name. It may be that Joanna and Hannah are the same persons, as there isn't many places to fit Joanna in this family, or they may be different and Joanna's birth simply wasn't recorded.

John Mar 1640 <18 months> Elizabeth Sep 1641 <18 months> Hannah Mar 1643 <17 months> Thomas Aug 1644 <31 months> Sarah Mar 1647.

Edward's will dated 1651 [Middlesex Probate 13609] mentions eldest son John Larkin, son Thomas, and daughters Elizabeth, Sarah, Johanna, plus a child to be born. If this list is in birth order, Hannah must have died, and Joanna was born after Sarah, probably about 1649, which would fit well with yet another impending birth in 1651.--Jrich 20:07, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
