[add comment] [edit] Birth date needs justification [25 May 2009]Sister Mary is born 18 Mar 1661/62 so one suspects that a date of 18 Mar 1660/61 for Sarah is merely a calendar error. Many websites list Mary and Sarah as twins. However, given that father Shadrach was town clerk and there is no mention of Sarah or twins in Mary's birth record, this is doubtful. Given Shadrach's marriage in 1658 or "by 1659", it would be surprising to find that Sarah wasn't born in 1659 or 1660. I suspect "Abt. 1660" is more accurate until a source giving the actual date can be cited? --Jrich 10:43, 25 May 2009 (EDT) |
