Keep in mind: Confirmed. The year of the 24 Nov entry is not printed on its line: 1700 by position on the page (inference). 'Samll' is Samuel. Neither entry identifies the Bolton captain; the second Benjamin (1702) is the one Bond places at Waltham (m. Mary Tainter 1726).

Keep in mind: Confirmed as Bond's text; a secondary compilation. Bond's 'July 19' for the 1702 baptism differs from the Watertown town record (26 July). Nothing on the page shows that the Benjamin baptised in 1702 is the captain of Bolton.
