birthdate "14th day of Jan. 1725" There is a hand written 19th century transcription of an earlier document. See Ancestry link to page # 114 of 424, the cover page. The transcription was done by Miss Lucy H. Harrison, in 1892. Here is the link to the Ancestry document for Jillian ; https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/2451/images/40355_... . On this page 90 of the book, it is the 3rd entry. Comparing the letter formation of the cursive, it seems more likely the first letter is a J not a L. Compare the formation of that letter "J" with the final word "Jan." They appear the same. Compare with the fifth entry which strongly appears to be a "L" .They are different. The first 3 (Andrew, Susana, Jillian) entries on this page appear to be a family group of father William Crow and his wife. I think Jillian was named after her paternal grandmother, Jillian MNU . who was married to a Charles Crow. That couple had a son William born 12 Sep 1696 on document page 54 (Ancestry page 143 of 424). It is the third from bottom entry.
