Attention all Massachusetts Experts,

I hope that address attracts attention. Friends, experts, genealogists lend
me your ears ... no, no, no, I'm on the wrong track there however, if I got
your attention I haven't failed. Can any of you kind folk help this
bamboozled Aussie? I'm tracing a lady named Abigail Stearns, daughter of
Samuel Stearns and Phoebe Waite, she married Joseph Temple at Concord on
November 28th 1717. My problem is establishing the accuracy of her birth
date. A check over Family Search entries gives me a choice of four different
dates and logic tells me only one can be correct! The dates I found are
February 8th 1699/1700, February 10th 1699/1700, February 16th 1701 and the
most oft quoted February 18th 1700 ... a puzzle for this simple minded
searcher. I thought I'll ask my friends on this mailing board, surely
someone will put me out of my misery. Forever gratefully for any assistance.
Best wishes, James.
