Re: Daniel Hull b1728 CT Ancestry, Jacobus vs Weygant

Thank you for your reply.I still cannot figure out who is the father of Daniel Hull b1728, was it Ebenezer Hull b. 1709? as per Weygant's "Hull Hamily in America" or Joseph Hull b. 1672 as per Jacobus's "Families of Ancient New Haven".
Normally, I would discount the accuracy of the Jacobus source, because it means that Daniel's father Joseph would have been 56 at his birth.However Joseph's wife is identified as Lydia Blakeslee, b 1700 who would have been a reasonable 28.Jacobus also identifies New Haven vital records as his sources, adding to the credibility of this source.
Both secondary sources are consistent as to birth date of Daniel Hull, 12 May 1728, and are consistent relative to his descendents.
I guess I need to access the vital records directly to resolve this discrepancy.
Thanks for your help.
