Notes

Birth data on Eunice Breed are subject to much confusion, thus equivocating her status as a twin of her sister Anne. The Breed Family Association records on have not quelled turbulence on this question, rather have likely fanned it. The 1929 dated volume 8, now cited preferentially, presented the 2 June 1742 birth date for Eunice, however the 1963 date volume 16 inexplicably presented two different dates for this same person . Anne did not appear in the earlier volume, but did in the later. The now cited birth record in FamilySearch database seemingly does corroborate the 2 June 1742 date for Eunice, however no document image is yet in appearance for wider inspection. No documentation on Anne's birth date is yet available in FSearch.
