Rogers Finch notes (Subject: Re: [FINCH] Samuel Finch & Abigail Resco Date: Tue, 21 May 2002 15:32:56 -0400): "Samuel (342-4) was selected as guardian for his brother Jeremiah (342-6) on Dec. 6, 1743 when he was 15. Jeremiah's (346-6) third child Jeremiah (342-63) was born in Greenwich 1752/3. Samuel's first child Jeremiah (342-41) was baptized June 24, 1752 at St. John's Episcopal Church. This accounts for three Jeremiahs. Without my having done further research, it looks as if Jeremiah (342-63) and Jeremiah (342-41) might be the same person and not a son of Samuel (342-4). In that case, your Samuel could have been the first child of Samuel (342-4) and Abigail born about 52." References: Thummel: ref non. 342, p. 25-6. TAG Mead, Hist.
