Research Notes

Profile was originally created with Birth Location of Middletown, New Jersey, which was removed and changed to New Netherland, the name for the area before Middletown was created. No source has been found for his birth yet. His parents were in Massachusetts, not New Jersey. His siblings were born in Massachusetts, not New Jersey, so he was 'probably' born in Massachusetts, although no sources have been found

Christening sources found for his children list their father as Obadiah, not James or James Obadiah. Other sources also had Obadiah
