According to this (I did not know how to add it since there is not an image to add, just the synopsis) Samuel was 4 the last September. This document was written in October 1721. That means Samuel was 4 a month earlier than this was written or Thomas forgot Samuel had had another birthday since then. So, since Thomas was 68 or so when he passed away, he would have been about 64 when Samuel was born.....If my calculations are correct, I am not sure how to fix it so the inconsistency does not show up anymore. I am also leery to make any changes since I heard I made a mistake a while back..
Does this sound correct to you?
