Note

One version of her birth record includes a note added at a later time reading "[sic see John]" and his record reads in kind, "[sic see Anne]". It appears the transcriber wasn't taking into account the Julian calendar. January 1721 would be Gregorian calendar 1722, more than enough time counting forward from November 1720 to complete the gestation for the next child.
