"The First Church of Roxbury's baptismal record for John Child reads thus: '1671 . . . moneth. 8. Day. 1. John, Son to Benjamin Childe' (https://iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:51850152$245i, image 245). Prior to 1752 in England and its colonies, the first month of the ecclesiastical year was March; the eighth month was therefore October (_octo_, of course, is Latin for _eight_)."
