      Note added by a different user - not sure how to reply otherwise:

      - I see the Feb 23, 1644 was deleted by findagrave so perhaps that has been proven wrong?
      - I notice in the 1600's a few places they add a /# after a date like 1648/9 or 1662/3. At first I thought it was the month but sometimes they indicate the month and it isn't right. I thought perhaps the / meant the hour, but it's oddly always 1 more than the year. So perhaps it's just to indicate the information is effective during the year 1648 to 1649? (pure speculation from me on why they sometimes added the /) It could explain why modern people confuse the year.
