Note on Dates in This Blog

Prior to the English Act of Parliament that adopted the Georgian Calendar took effect on Sept. 2, 1752, the year began in March; consequently February was the twelfth month. Ten days also need to be added to a date in the sixteenth century, and eleven in the seventeenth, to bring the dates to the present style. Thus, 12 mo. 25, 1629, instead of being Christmas-day would be March 8th, 1630.
It is now uncertain which dates prior to 1752 are “corrected” and which are not so those listed should be taken as approximate.
