At the top and in the Biography it says he died 12 April 1703. The vital records of Lexington say he died on 13 April as does the grave marker as is correctly indicated in the Biography. (Vital Records of Lexington, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, http://ma-vitalrecords.org) In the Biography it says he was married on 14 February 1650 while at the top it says 14 April 1650. The vital records of Woburn says 14 April. (Vital Records of Woburn, Middlesex Co., Massachusetts, http://ma-vitalrecords.org)

It would appear there is confusion as to whether the marriage month was or was not changed to the modern calendar during transcription.
