Evidence

Date: 17-1-[16]52-3 (17 March 1652/3)
Why this conclusion
- Synthesized by Finding Record coverage: a continuous 1641-1663 civic/land/court/probate footprintThe 1653 Wilson v. Faxon deposition is the court-record class within the footprint (cross-topic: braintree-community).
- Supports Finding Braintree residence, c. 1645–1662/3Deposition names John 'of Brayntree,' 1652/3.
- Required by Analysis Analysis: the 1653 deposition is the only record of John's own personThe sole-personal-record analysis rests on the 1653 deposition being the one record to state John's own attribute (his age).
