1. ↑ Elizabeth's date of birth is recorded as "9th of the 7th mo. 1662." Prior to 1752 in England and in the Colonies, dates were using the Julian calendar, in which the year began on March 25. That means that "1st month" referred to March, and "7th month" referred to September. So this date is most likely the 9th day of September, not the 9th day of July. Confusing, right?
