Notes |
- Author explicitly states in his preface that HE CONVERTED ALL DATES to be
New style. His reason for doing this was that's the way historians do it,
so genealogists should, too. Note this work was from original records,
but rearranged to
alpha/chronological (i.e., all Baldwins listed by date born, etc.). Note
also he was inconsistent in his reasoning and did
NOT convert the 11 day difference. His specific quote was:
"Whenever a date occurred in January, or February, or before Mar 25, I
have given the year which, according to New Style, properly represents
the fact. There would seem to be no valid reason why the birth of John
Richardson, of Woburn, for instance, should be given as Feb 5, 1731-32,
any more then we should, at the present day, refer to George Washington
as having been born Feb 11, 1731-2. If our historians deem it correct to
speak of the English Revolution as occuring Feb 1869, why should we refer
to events as happening in Feb 1868-9?
While I have not changed the day of the month from the Julian to the
Gregorian calendar, as is now universally done in
referring to the natal day of the Father of his country, I have, as
stated above, uniformly adopted the year, which,
according to the present method of reckoning time, would be regarded as
correct chronology."
