Shared note

This Simon may or may not exist, as his dates appear only once, and his dates are identical to sister Dorothy. Since they both died aged 1 yr., it really doesn't make much difference.

Dorothy is in the supplemental Watertown Vital Records as being baptized 27 Jul 1760, and Simon isn't. Since all of the other children of Simon Whitney were listed as baptized, it adds to the evidence that the other entry that shows his birth is in error and that he did not exist.
