You are correct. The marriage date was 1753 and most likely my inability to read Leach's handwriting. However, in the next generation I read it as 1753. Children of Abishai Bunker and Dinah Coffin were Abishai b. 1754, and Miriam b. 1755. Abishai then married Hephzibah Allen in 1757 and they had Thaddeus b. 1758 according to Leach. The Bunker Family Assn. database also shows Hephzibah Bunker b. 1761 and Hezikiah b. 1762 after Abishai died. Thanks for the assist. This was very hard to read and I need all the help I can get to make sure it is accurate.

Dina COFFIN, b. 1736, d. 25 Sep 1756. I am aware of one child, Abishai BUNKER, b. 4 Feb 1754, so the marriage date of 1783 must be a typographical error.
