1. ↑ Henry's date of birth is recorded as "18 of the 8th mo. 1652." Prior to 1752 in England and the colonies, the Julian calendar was still in use, making March 25 the first day of the year. This meant that March was "first month" and October was "8th mo." So this is most like the 18th day of October, not the 18th day of August.
