3. William.
The above children were undoubtedly b. in this town, but there is no record of their birth upon the town records, and as the parents neither o.b.c. nor were ad.f.c. they could not be baptized in the church. The only legal evidence, therefore, that any such persons ever lived is simply the record of their having been "warned" out of town.
