NOTE RE BIRTH DATE: ancestry.com Rootsweb entry gives a birth date of September 1718 in Haverhill, Essex County, Massachusetts [Bay Colony]. The source cited therein is Bartholomew Heath of Haverhill, Massachusetts compiled by Valerie Dyer Georgi and privately published in 1994. However, said book is not readily available, and a reliable source for that date is not known. The source that is known is the Norwich vital records cited for the 9 December 1718 birth date in the first paragraph of the biography. Therefore, that date is given preference over the unknown source for the Heath genealogy of author Georgi.
