Thanks, Sherry, for providing these data. So far, the dates agree pretty closely with those published in the various town histories I've looked at. There is a curious discrepancy in the C's, though: >Charles, male, b 5/4/1766 in Dunstable, NH to Jonathan Blanchard and Rebecca, > reported from Nashua, NH All the Dunstable vitals from the 1st book were included in the published vital records of Dunstable, Mass (because that book has all the old stuff from before the Province Line cut the town in two and gave half to New Hampshire), that book shows a Charles born in 1776, not in 1766. The 1766 date is shown for the first child, Rebecca. Does anyone have an indication that Rebecca was actually twins?
