Defect 1 [2 September 2018]

Seems neither to be son of Francis nor have any association w/Yarmouth.

The above comment posted "15:33, 13 June 2016 Jrm03063". No evidence for above defect given, plus birth of William and "Marcy"'s children is found exactly in Yarmouth VRs, p. 23 (Savage missed son Elisha and copies some of the days of month wrong but agrees on years and order). Cutter in New England Families, Vol. 2, p. 2034 says "William Baker, son of Frances Baker, was born 1655, died in 1727. He resided at Yarmouth. He married Mercy ---". This makes the above comment need some kind of evidence. --Jrich 17:58, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Defect 2

Suffolk probate 804 shows William died in Boston in 1676 with widow Pilgrim, couldn't be the man in Concord in 1679, whose death and probate are explicitly found in Concord. --Jrich 17:58, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
