Notes

There is a birth record for Experience on page 99 of Births, Marriages, Baptisms and Deaths from the Records of the Town and Churches in Coventry, Connecticut 1711-1844 by Susan Whitney Dimock. Below the birth record for Experience is the comment "What is above written was taken out of the Records from Northampton". That comment appears to apply to 9 children with surname Root born sequentially from July 1692 to September 1707 followed by Ephraim Root born December 1709, presumably in Coventry.

'Northampton' refers to Northampton, Massachusetts.

Experience's birth date is New Style. The following clarification is in the handwritten record book of Northampton. "From the year 1702 the Date begins the 1st January but before that the first of March"
