  4. Birth not recorded in vital records, but the death record makes up for that. Mentioned by Jameson, who dates his birth to 1760, which is what the death notice ages quoted calculate to. That would work only if Uriah and Timothy were twins, while there is a tempting gap in recorded births in 1764-5. Possibly he was thought to be four years older than he was. More research needed.
