YOU ASK:
..................."Do we even know if the same clerk recorded data in 1714 and 1717 [the dates of these two deaths]?"
FROM:The Vestry Book and Register of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent and James City Counties, Virginia, Edited by C. G. Chamberlayne, Published by The Library board, Richmond, Division of Purchase and Printing 1937
ITEM:
1707 February 4th - James TAYLOR appointed Clerk of the Vestry.
1718 September 29th - ibid pg 167
James TAYLOR, Clerk of the Vestry.
ibid - pg 447
Anne, Daughter of Wm WALKER Departed this Life 7ber 26th..1714
Wm WALKER, Jun., Departed this Life 7ber ye 23rd.....................1717
Wm WALKER Departed this Life September ye 12th.......................1718
COMMENT:In truth, if one does not trust the information given in the available documents, i.e., your quote:
......................"This might depend on the clerk and the day he's having"........................
then one can disallow, or declare all documentation contained therein, subject to disbelief or invalid.
