The WV's stand for Wallingford Vital Records, the NHV's for New Haven Vitals etc. The Vital Records (Jacobus would have used the originals, mostlynowadays we use the published versions. Birth: There is no birth record, nor did his death record list an age nor was he deposed in court, giving an age. He married 1st in 1673 and went to Wallingford probably before that marriage. So the latest he would have been born was about 1653. We know Nehemiah was born about 1634-1637 and we surmise from marriage dates that brothers Jonathan and Samuel were born in between, so Nathaniel was born not before 1640 and not after 1653. The specific birth dates sometimes given in 1639 belong to Nathaniel the son of Robert Royce of Boston who was baptized 24th day 1st month 1639<ref>Boston, MA: Births, Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths, 1630-1699at AmericanAncestors (NEHGS)</ref>
