• NOTE:

  [1506] Was this really a birth? Or was it a baptism?

[1507] [S100] "Correct Ancestry of Ebenezer Smith"

• PAGE: 68
  
• NOTE:

  [1508] This says Michael died 24 Dec. 1654, citing NEHG Register 6:173.That is a compiled genealogy which does say 1654, but Leudeman also sayshis inventory was taken 31 1m 1654, i.e, 31 March 1654 (though she ismistaken in concluding that meant 1654/5. The new year began on 25March. Otherwise Mary would have remarried before Michael's death.

• PAGE: 128
  
• NOTE:

  [1510] This says 25 of 1 mo 1654. Since the 25th of March was the first day ofthe new year, this suggests 1653/4 was meant. That fits with hisinventory being taken on 31 March 1654.
