Birth 9 Jul 1641 Concord, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts, United States Gender Male Birth Place Historical Name Concord, Massachusetts Bay Colony, BRITISH AMERICA Died 2 Feb 1723/24 Concord, Middlesex Co, Massachusetts, United States DEFINITION FOR DOUBLE-DATING (when used): A system of double dating used in England and British North America from 1582-1752 for dates falling between January 1 and March 25. This was common practice because the new Gregorian calendar, which went into effect in 1582, but was not officially adopted by the British and the American colonies until 1752, recognized January 1 as the first day of the year, while the old Julian calendar recognized March 25 as the first day. Thus, dates between those two days prior to the calendar change in 1752 were often written with both year numbers (i.e. 5 January 1712/13).
