This probably comes from a deposition, but I have yet to check the original record. An independent<br />
estimate arrived at by assuming a minimum age <strong>of</strong> 21 at his appointment as a surveyor in Sussex Co.,<br />
Delaware/Pennsylvania in 1683 yields a birth year <strong>of</strong> 1662, so a birth year <strong>of</strong> around 1662/1663 seems<br />
broadly accurate, especially given that his older brother was probably born in 1660 or 166<strong>1.</strong><br />
