from Record of Births in Duxbury:
Joshua, son of Ebenezer & Martha Delano his wife, born 30 Oct 1700
His year of death occurred in 1751 according to the calendar we use today. Between 1582 and 1752 the colonies used two calendars. The old calendar started the new year on March 25th and the new calendar used January 1st. Due to the confusion this caused, between January 1st and March 24th they would list the date as March 1st 1750/51. This indicates that he died on March 1st 1750 of the old calendar and March 1st of 1751 of the new calendar (the one we use today).
