and George, 26 Dec. 1726; and his w. d. 20 May 1752, says indefatigab.
Hinman, in his new Edit. of 1852. But as he gives the same day for d.
of the w. of Benjamin, the elder br. and the bapt. name of ea. was the
same, without daring to guess wh. of the two is correct, I venture to
doubt, that he fell into a very natural error, not observ. the repetit.
Ephraim d. he says 26 Dec. 1760; and note is not found as to Benjamin.
