During merging, one profile had a birth date of 12/12/1678. Sources for either this or the main profile date would be appreciated!

Not sure the original source the 12/12/1678 date was drawn from (not the link below but from another merge, I believe), but a secondary source I located confirms the date:

Also verified via Ancestry.com, at http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/person.aspx?pid=15925604

Which shows:

Patience Titus
Born: 12 Dec 1678 Westbury, Nassau, New York, USA
Died: 1765 Queens, Long Island, New York, USA

Thanks Eric!

I went through my records as well from my grandfather, which identifies the other date ( http://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000011556630307 )

I can't view your second link, is it a primary source by any chance?

We may have to leave this one up for debate!

Hi Sam,

No, neither one appears to be a 100% verifiable source. So I think you're right -- we'll have to consider them as both possibilities, unless we can find a primary source.

Looks like we both have some close ties to the Society of Friends. My direct ancestors (Shotwell line) we are very prominent members of the Rahway, NJ (formerly Shotwell's Landing) Society of Friends.

Eric
