  2. [S429] Personal Note of Larry & Kathy McCurdy: Important Note: Using John's death date minus his age of 74 years, 7 months, 21 days to reach his birth date
    -1st result 21 Feb 1797 beginning with year-month-day
    - 2nd result 31 jan 1797 beginning with dsay-mmonth-year
    Checking Census Records:
    - 1850 John 52 years
    - 1860 John 62 years
    - 1870 John 72 years
    consistently he age figures 1798 not 1797 as figured from his age stated at death
    In the past, we had caculated his birth day-month-year and got a date very different from the date given on his Christening record. With the evidence from the census reports, it is safe to say John is the son of John & Barbara Peterman. Kathy & Larry McCurdy 1 August 2006.
