Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

FOLLOWUP

The family chart for the James Sharples family, created for the Hinshaw guides to Quakers, includes an ambiguous date for James' son David's birthday, noting it was either month 4 (preferred) or 11. Since this is the old style (pre-Gregorian calendar) reckoning, the modern month name is either June (preferred) or January. June agrees with other sources, and is being used in this database.
