The one thing I'd maybe check is to see if the Peabody Essex Museum still holds them in its collection. Then I'd ask if it was authenticated to actually belong to the Bradford family.

I would argue that it should at least be about/uncertain, since it actually is, but if this is an ongoing debate and I do not know all the arguments I am not sure what would be correct. In my profiles in cases like this I usually put before, since the baptism is only very rarely on the same day as the birth if it is not a still born child.

In this time period in England, it was required by law that all infants were baptized as close to birth as possible. As a result, baptism dates are very close actual birth dates. <p>The question then is what status indicator should you use: About/Before/Exact?</p> <p>Many people use before because they were obviously born before they were baptized - this is my least favorite. Before is too big and too imprecise; in genealogy it could mean days before, weeks before, months before, or years before.</p> <p>About is much closer to the truth, as in the vast majority of the time, as was required by law, an infant was baptized soon after birth (yes, I know you can all give me examples of someone being baptized years after birth, don't bother, that was the exception, not the rule).</p> <p>So, I actually prefer exact in this time period (16th and 17th century) when there is no possible way to ever know the true birth date and the baptism date is a de facto birth date. The date is precise, from the record, and can never be improved. Putting the word 'before' in front of every single date provides no additional value, and in fact creates an ambiguity which does not exist. The date is most likely correct within 7 days, and near certainly correct within 14 days. In the biography, I always note the date is in fact a baptism (or burial), and of course include the source.</p> </div> <div class="comment-info small"><a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Bradford-24?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#comment_6933513">posted</a> <time class="timeago" datetime="2022-11-28T20:10:49Z">Nov 28, 2022</time> by <a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Cochoit-2?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Cochoit-2">Joe Cochoit</a> </div> </div> <div id="comment_6933667" class="comment comment-depth-5 comment-reply " data-comment-id="6933667" data-reply-to="6933513" data-depth="5"> <div class="comment-header"><img src="/photo.php/thumb/2/21/Madison-125-2.jpg/75px-Madison-125-2.jpg" class="commenter-image" alt="Madison-125"> <a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Madison-125?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Madison-125">Bobbie (Madison) Hall</a> </div> <div class="comment-body"> How about we compromise by using about, then, since the baptism was surely before the birth and you don't like the vagueness of "before." </div> <div class="comment-info small"><a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Bradford-24?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#comment_6933667">posted</a> <time class="timeago" datetime="2022-11-28T21:08:07Z">Nov 28, 2022</time> by <a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Madison-125?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Madison-125">Bobbie (Madison) Hall</a> </div> </div> <div id="comment_6933774" class="comment comment-depth-5 comment-reply " data-comment-id="6933774" data-reply-to="6933667" data-depth="6"> <div class="comment-header"><img src="/photo.php/thumb/c/c9/Cochoit-2.jpg/75px-Cochoit-2.jpg" class="commenter-image" alt="Cochoit-2"> <a href="https://www-wikitree-com.translate.goog/wiki/Cochoit-2?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Cochoit-2">Joe Cochoit</a> </div> <div class="comment-body"> This is a battle not worth fighting, especially on a prominent profile like a Mayflower passenger.
