▼ Defect 1

Savage notes that the records show two births in the same family five months apart, which is not possible, but apparently didn't attempt to check any other sources before simply guessing that Mary's birth is the one that is wrong. In fact, it is probably right, since the County records give Elizabeth's birth as 1662, in a gap between other siblings, and far more suitable for a woman who married in 1679 than results from his apparently arbitrary assumption. --Jrich 03:27, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
