Birth Year Estimate

^Assuming he was at least 18 at his marriage, Edward Day was born not later than 1704. ^If he was an adult at the time of his father's will in 1704, he was born not later than 1686, and was 36 years old at his marriage. ^In any event, he was younger than Nicholas and could not have been born earlier than 1675, since his mother Sarah was not likely to be younger than about 20 at the time of his birth. ^Assuming his birth took place before 1693, he was born in Anne Arundel County.

—Established 1692 — "Inscription. The old church here standing was built by Edward Day at his own expense and consecrated in 1817 to replace Saint John’s at Joppa Town which, built in 1725, lay in ruins." wonder IF there was also a cemetery nearby? Maybe where some of our Day's & Greer's & Taylor's were laid to rest. https://www.hmdb.org/marker.asp?marker=1921

Day-8667 and Day-6091 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same wife, approx. same death date. Birth years don't match, but both are estimates anyhow.
