Children

The children of Richard and Mary of Berwick with birth records includes:[1]

  1. Richard, b. 23 Nov 1708
  2. James, b. 24 Feb 1710
  3. Moses, b. 24 Jan 1712
  4. Aron, b. 27 Jan 1714
  5. Sarah, b. 28 Dec 1716
  6. Nathan, b. 5 Dec 1718
  7. Adam, b. 6 Jan 1720
  8. Mary, b. 17 Jan 1722
  9. Emmey, b. 26 Nov 1724
  10. Keziah, b. 26 Nov 1726
  11. Joseph, b. 26 Jul 1728
  12. Jobez, b. 14 Jun 1732

They were all born in Berwick, York County, Massachusetts, now in Maine.

The implication of these 12 birth records is that Richard and Mary did not marry in 1678 in Virginia, and are conflated with a different family.

The birth dates of Richard and Mary also do not make sense. There may be 3 different couples conflated here.

Here are apparently the third couple:
