Freddie - Given the lack of documentation and general unreliability of most genealogical web sites that is not surprising. I'll bet that not a single one of those birth dates was documented, and the parentage not documented either. Torrey's "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" gives no year of birth, which probably means that Torrey was unable to determine that year from the sources available in the NEHGS library. Have you consulted Elizabeth Wilmarth and Bessie Wilmarth Gahn, "The Wilmarth Family. Descendants of Thomas of Massachusetts" (1953)? Dale H.

There is a fantastic amount of Wilmarth material at NEHGS by Josephine [?] Wilmarth, done in the 1920s -- a couple of boxes full. She died before she could publish it. I don't know how much of it was used in the 1953 genealogy you mention. About 15 years ago, Jim Wilmarth of Los Alamos, NM, copied much of it and was planning to organize and computerize it, but I don't know if he ever did. It follows many of the daughters as well as the sons.
