How it is shown: Cropped to the document only: the viewer's toolbar, buttons, page counter and any account name are removed; no retouch of the document, no highlight. The saved original screenshot stays private.

Keep in mind: The writer calls the shipwreck-survivor, catamount and sheep account "tradition" and names no source. Confirmed as printed. The writer gives "about 1680" for his arrival where later sketches say about 1645 birth and Marlboro by 1686; the first wife is given as Mehitable, daughter of John Rediat.
