(Printed volumes of the records of Medford, Massachusetts gives Josiah Nutting’s birth date as February 28, 1705/06 and that of his brother John as of April 23, 1709. It would seem that some error occurred, for the age of John Nutting at death gives a birth date almost precisely that given of Josiah Nutting.) (NG)
