Research note on incorrectly ascribed son

Job Winslow, baptised 11 Aug 1754 at Freetown, who married Margaret Cooley 27 Jul 1780, is ascribed by History of Hardwick Mass., Winslow Geneology to Seth Winslow, Sr. of Rochester and Hardwick. Job is actually the son of Hezekiah Winslow of Freetown. ^[7]

Seth Winslow, Sr. and Hezekiah Winslow are indeed Second Cousins, both being descendants of Kenelm Winslow.

Text: "Name: Seth Winslow; Event Type: Birth; Birth Date: 7 Mar 1698-1699; Birth Place: Plymouth, Massachusetts; Father Name: James Winslow; Mother Name: Mary Winslow". Nota bene: the calender year began on 25th March; thus, 7 March 1698 is actually 1699 according to our present-day reckoning. This is shown by the double year 1698/99. The calender change in England and Ireland took place on 2nd September 1752, making it the 14th of September (NS) rather than the 2nd (OS). It was only the following year 1st of Jan. 1753 that the year began on the 1st of January, rather than on the 25th of March. Scotland made the change in 1600. - Albertus
