• Notes

  [Bowman-1933] lists birth at Truro, Barnstable County. [4] [Holbrook-1986b] actually lists “...the second day of March in the year 1718/19,” as the birthdate of Ruth Collings. This notation was common in the American Colonies before the British parliamentary mandate of 1752 that officially changed the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. [2]
