The marriage date of 4 Oct 1665 is not correct if Priscilla was born in 1655 and John in 1651.

The bio has a marriage ca 1671 which looks more likely

Was she really 10 years old when she married John?

Norton-770 and Norton-2472 appear to represent the same person because: Appear to be the same person, because they have the same birth and death date and other vital information look the same.
posted by John Floyd
Norton-1668 and Norton-770 appear to represent the same person because: They are duplicates, as are their daughters (Butler-1573 and Butler-4668) and sons-in-law (Newcomb-308 and Newcomb-718), who are listed with the same marriage date in the same location.
