I have corrected the dates

The birth date here is wrong. That date belongs to an earlier son by the same name but who died in 1655.

The birthdate of the son Thomas who survived to adulthood was 26 March 1658. Source: https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/essex-genealogist-the/image?pageName=87&volumeId=13117&rId=24759420
