Conflicting Birth Date: 1584 [Robert Charles Anderson apparently did not find evidence of his birth in 1584^[1]].

A record of Francis Weston's birth and/or baptism has not been discovered. Based on the date of his freemanship (1 January 1632/3^[2]), he was born by 1611,^[3] but he may have been born much earlier.

A record of Francis Weston's death has also not been identified, but his demise occurred by/before "5 June 1645,"^[4] as the following record is found dated "5 (4) 1645" as "Per cur. William Aspinwall."^[5]
