"b. July 7, 1778." I am using this date for two reasons. One is simply because I have decided when I find a discrepancy, to use the dates in the Barbour Collection versus other sources. Secondly, another daughter was born two years after the twins, and her birthday is given as 27 June 1780. It seems more likely that an error was made while copying the dates than that another child was born on that same day.
