Explaining birth date differences
A variety of birth dates from a variety of sources should at least be discussed. Trying to change published dates is not as important as seeing the differences and having dates you can use to search for more information. Seems like the recorded birth date at the Vital Records from the town she was born in should be put on the top of the list.
Vital Records Wenham Births, page 88, lists Prudence being born 18: 2m: 1680. The pre '1752 Calendar Change' written format equals 18 Apr 1680. The Fairfield Family data base also uses 18 Apr 1680. A note posted at this WikiTree profile stated “ TAG reports her birth date as 20 April 1680. Find A Grave profile and the cemetery gravestone reads 13 Jul 1680. GW
