Leathel, Wasn't Jan. 11, 1702, after Oct. 28, 1702? I just remember finding a will that looked like it was proved before it was written. I get confused by the date change, but I think the new year didn't start until March before the calendar change. If I'm still confused, just ignore this. My mind is still a bit foggy from the change to daylight savings time.
