Research Notes

A. The birth date used in this profile is Gregorian, aka "New Style," and calculated online (calculators available here and here) on the premise that the date in this record is Julian, aka "Old Style." If Julian, then "Mo. 3" means May, not March. Furthermore, the online calculators make an adjustment for differences in the number of days in the Julian and Gregorian year, which is why the Julian day shown in the record ("30 May") becomes, in this profile, 9 Jun.

B. This record doesn't give the year of her birth, but based on her age at death, it's presumably 1656. See also Wikipedia contributors, "Old Style and New Style dates," Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia (accessed June 26, 2021).
