From 1582 until 1752, there were two calendars in use in Britain and its colonies. One calendar started years on March 25, and the other on January 1. In 1752, the switch was made universal and permanent to just start the year on January 1. But in years before that, any recorded date occurring in the part of the year between January 1 and March 25 could potentially be using either calendar, in which case the year number would be different. Quite often, you'd see people just record *both* years by writing something like 1736/7.
Ebenezer's birth record, at least in transcription, records the date as 1736/7. So it is 1736 under the older Julian calendar ("old style") and 1737 under the newer Gregorian calendar that we use today. So both years are correct. WikiTree policy is to use the new calendar, i.e., always put the larger number in the date field. So that would be 1737 for Ebenezer's birth.
