3. Anna: No I* source confirms day & month of birth. Only “U.S., Find a Grave Index, 1600s-Current” includes month & day but cites no source, and b. isn’t etched on headstone. “American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI)” confirms b. year at Ancestry.com m. 1st: 1 Jan 1717 John Davis: "Massachusetts Marriages, 1695-1910, 1921-1924"– FamilySearch 1 and and FamilySearch 2 . m. 2nd: Hezekiah Gorham 28 Mar 1746: at Ancestry.com. “"U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900" confirms b. year & m. year at Ancestry.com. Two sources show her with 1st married surname. m. Hezekiah Gorham 28 Mar 1746: FamilySearch 1 and FamilySearch 2. and “International Marriage Records, 1560-1900” at Ancestry.com confirms b. year & m. year.
4. Thomas: b. 8 Nov 1719 proved by “Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988” at Ancestry.com. m. 19 Apr 1752 as proven at FamilySearch #1 and FamilySearch #2. He is the primary heir of his father's estate as evidenced in the posted Will.

6. Rebecca: b. 24 Nov 1723. “North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000” at Ancestry.com provides day & mo. of birth (includes d.). “American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI)” at Ancestry.com. confirms b. year. m. 28 Jul 1742 per primary sources at FamilySearch #1 and FamilySearch #2 . “North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000” at Ancestry.com concurs. “Massachusetts, U.S., Compiled Birth, Marriage, and Death Records” shows m. 27 Jul 1742, at Ancestry.com
7. Abigail: b. 7 Jun 1725 per “Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988” at Ancestry.com. She was alive in her 66th year when her father dictated his Will. No record of marriage or death associated to parentage. It's possible she may have removed to Watertown, Middlesex, MA and died there 28 Apr 1703. However, though nothing else in that original burial record at FamilySearch shows parentage.
8. Mary: There’s no extant I° source shows birth-to-parentage. Therefore, 1727 given by Otis presides as II° source. She was alive in 5 Sep 1691, when her father’s will was dictated. She was age 64 at the time. Extant primary sources do not prove that either she or Nymphas Marston ever married.
9. James: b. 1 Dec 1729 as proved by “Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988” at Ancestry.com. m. 7 Jan 1752 as proven by two I° indexed sources at FamilySearch #1 and FamilySearch #2.
