The birthdate of Cornelius Gillett, Sr. in America listed as January 10, 1634, is suspect as it predates the likely arrival of Cornelius' mother Mary Gillett from England - sometime in mid-1634, following her marriage to his father Jonathan Gillett, Sr. in March 1634. As far as records go - Mary was not in America prior to that point - only the Johnathan Sr.

FYI - This is my first comment on this site, so please forgive me if I am not following protocol. I am related to a younger brother of Cornelius.

Hi Private User

You did great, and thank you. I’ve removed a birth date. Do you have a proposed alternate? We can do “after”, “before,” “between”, (c), or leave blank.

I have a date of July 1636, Dorchester, Suffolk, MA - the source is "The Brothers Jonathan and Nathan Gillett and Some of Their Descendants", Compiled by Alice Lucinda Priest, B.L. of Brookline, Mass., link: http://www.nehrs.org/research/database/register/default.asp?vol=101...
