Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts, USA
1664 May 20: Benjamin Swett was born in Newbury son of Stephen Swett. Newbury VR has "Benjamin, s. Steven [Benjamin. S. dup.]" which means the oldest record has "son of Steven" and a copy has "son of Benjamin". Which is correct? Stackpole has 20 May 1664 as the birth of Benjamin [10] Swett, son of Benjamin Swett and Hester Weare, but Stackpole missed the entry that shows they had a son Benjamin born 5 August 1656, or assumed he died before 20 May 1664. There is no such death in the Newbury VR. Therefore, Benjamin Swett born 20 May 1664 must have been a son of Stephen Swett and Rebecca Smith not mentioned by Stackpole. |
