NOTE: One source says the marriage was in 1686; Two others say it was 1695. None of the three are considered reliable sources: (1) Family Data Collection - Individual Records; 2) Family Data Collection - Marriages; 3) U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900), however. U.S., New England Marriages Prior to 1700which is supposed to be considered reliable, states it was "about 1690." But their first child was born in 1687. This would make the most sense, were the marriage date to be 1686.
