Shared note

Whoever submitted this record says Concord, but the birth is recorded in Watertown VR's. The earliest Whitney births recorded in Concord are 1692, 1708/9 and 1710 - and none are children of Richard and Martha. Death recorded in Stow with the spelling Whetney and is shown in the Stow VR as 5 Dec. while the entry in the database says 15 - perhaps someone "corrected" for the calendar change in 1752.
