When we wrote the article on the family of Mercy Griffin (Mercy/Worden/Samuel/Samuel) and her husband Daniel Stevens the only early records we had was a baptismal record. Half of their children were all baptized the same day along with their father. We then had to use other sources and our best guess to assign them a birth date. Recently we have discovered their birth records as recorded by the town clerk. I enjoy reviewing the town records for Killingworth. The town clerks had a wonderful little habit of inserting family records in random spots within the records of the minutes of town business and deed records.
We'll take random spots...as long as we can find them!
