    3. Is the birth date of Daniel wrong? Here's what I have from the DeTuck Family Assoc. In John DeTurk's Bible was found on a loose sheet of paper a register of his children in his own handwriting. The name of Deborah, the last child, is not given. this omission makes it possible to approximately fix the time of making this birthday register as 1760. The birth of Deborah was taken from a later register. A translation of the orginal record, which was made in German, is given in full: REGISTER OF THE BIRTHDAYS OF MY CHILDREN My son, Isaac, was born August 25, 1741, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. My son, Daniel, was born September 18, 1742 at 2 o'clock My son, Johannes, was born January 28, 1747, at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. My son, Samuel, was born May 25, 1750, at half past five in the evening. My son, Abraham, was born March 2, 1752, at 10 o'clock in the evening. My son, Philip, was born April 20, 1757, at midday. My son, Jacob, was born November 24, 1759, at midday. My daughter, Susanna, was born March 27, 1745, at 4 o'clock. My daughter, Maria, was born July 16, 1748, at 1 o'clock in the morning. My daughter, Esther, was born February 19, 1753, at 10 o'clock in the morning. My unnamed daughter was born November 19, 1753 at 10o'clock in the morning and died November 23, 1753, at 1 o'clock in the morning. (Deborah was born June 15, 1761, at half past eleven at night.)
