St. John's 3 March 1615/6 baptism not son John. There is a baptismal entry St. John's, Glastonbury, Somerset, England, dated 3 March 1615/6. This record is often said to be about John¹ Rayment, immigrant to Salem, Massachusetts--for example, FamilySearch Family Tree (PID LC9J-6LT) and FindAGrave (memorial 60336123). However, a review of that record finds the gender is more likely female (a "filia"), the parent's given name is unlikely George; the surname is unlikely Rayment or Raymond. See the restricted access record in "Parish Registers for St. John's Church, Glastonbury, 1603-1900"; images, FamilySearch, FHL film 1,526,630, DGS 4,021,891 (image 1632 of 2362. A snippet of the parish record has been uploaded to St. John's 3 March 1615/6 Snippet. No other baptismal record has been identified about John Rayment.

Amye, buried 1620. Burial entry for one "Amye" appears on the St. John's parish records at image 1641 of 2362. The father's name in the record seems similar to George Rayme[nt], but the surname might also be "_____ Raynolds." See "Burials, 1603-1620, 1649-1849 ..." in "Parish registers for St. John's Church, Glastonbury, 1603-1901"; digital images, FamilySearch, FHL film 1,526,630 Items 41 - 51 DGS 4,021,891, image 1641 of 2362, citing "Somerset Record Office: D/P/gla.j/2/1/1 to /2/1/16, 2/1/20 and /2/2/1 to /2/2/2."
