All children born in Newbury;[2] the following list follows the work of DW Hoyt:[3]
*DW Hoyt notes[4] that the Vital Records of Newbury records a Rebecca being born 17 Sep 1661, but there is no death record for her and also in the Vital Records an unnamed daughter was born 8 Nov. 1674.[5] Assuming that the will gives the daughters' names in order, then Elizabeth was born between Mary and Rebecca.

It can be confusing as you are beginning WikiTree... trust me, I remember my head spinning. Study the Help Index that is found in the drop down menu at the top left of a profile or use it as a reference point and go there whenever you have a question about something.
I changed the children's numbering system to the one used by WikiTree. A # before each child puts them in numerical order.
I also added the reference tag that you had deleted. The reference tag See this page for help: [1] "References will automatically appear in place of the <references /> tag, which should be directly below the = Sources = headline." (a quote from that page.)
Thanks for your work here, Robert.

I rechecked the Newton VR and found no infant child of Edward b/d 1680, just the 2 infants in 1660 and 1674 https://ma-vitalrecords.org/MA/Essex/Newbury/aDeathsW.shtml
The father now needs PGM as Mgr, which was lost in the shuffle. Thanks.
His father was also Edward, per Anderson and the baptismal record. Don't know where he went??
His WIFE not his mother is Joanna (Unk)
This profile is for Edward his son born in 1628. Where did Edward b. 1606 go? Looks like he was merged into his son? UGH!!!
edited by Chris Hoyt
Moved his parents (Edward and Joanna's) children back to the correct parents.
I also removed a random John Woodward, who by his spouse and death location was not a child of either Edward.
Still don't have a profile for Edward I, the grandfather of this one. What a MESS!!!
