Genealogical memoir of Backus family 1889; Backus families of early New ENG 1966; Hale-House 1952. It is puzzling that the 1637 date appears to be the only date recorded before 1659. The earlier date shoud be confirmed. Founder's lineage application # 3144. Founders of Early American Families, page 13.
