Dill-411 and Dill-280 appear to represent the same person because: "Maine Births and Christenings, 1739-1900", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F43H-DYL : 14 January 2020), Enoch Dill, 1712.

Indicates correct mother and father

posted by Robin Lee
Does anyone know which mother is the mother of Enoch Dill Jr, son of this Enoch Dill (b.1712)? Ruth Parsons or Sarah Brookings? Here and on familysearch there are 2 different Enoch Dill Jr's listed, one born in 1732 and one around 1735. Is it possible they are the same person? If so, which is the correct mother? Thanks!
