A WorldConnect databass lists the children of Burrell Brittain with their exact birthdates and has the note "Family bible of a Smith family has records of 'Buryl Brittain' and Polly his wife showing their marriage date, his death & birth, her birth, names & births of their children. [All of Burrell's children were born to Polly.] The website given still exists but the Bible reference has apparently been removed. It also includes the children of Henry Farrar - one of Burrell's daughter, Elizabeth, married Henry Farrar. Polly and Elizabeth Hinton were sisters.
