Shared note

This birthdate is less than 4 months after that of his older sister, Lydia, as they are both reported in the Watertown Vital Records for Whitney. Since the next child was not born until Sept. 1749, there is a possibility that this date should have been 1746/7, and someone, seeing 1746, "corrected" it to 1745/46. Lydia's date of 15 Sep 1745 is far less likely to have been misinterpreted than a date between Jan 1 and March 25.

Robert Ward indicates that he was a cordwainer in 1788 in Watertown, Middlesex, MA.
