The birth data for Esther 'Hester' Kettell is out of sync sizeable gulf of time between her birth and the next supposedly eldest child, Mary Gale .
to see a precise birthdate—July 15, 1614—for her given there's no source for her baptism. If the birth year were somewhat valid, then it suggests one of two things:
1. Her parents had several children who didn''t survive.
2. Samuel married a different NN 1st wife before have the rest of the children with a disputed/unsourced 2d wife.
