John Bancroft and his wife Mary Janney never came to the colonies; he died 12mo (February) 25, 1699 (1700) and was buried on the 28th at Mobberley, Cheshire, ENG; Mary (Janney) Bancroft died 1mo (March) 5, 1707 at was buried on the 9th at Stockport, Cheshire, ENG. England and her colonies used the Julian calendar (as did most of the Christian world) wherein March was the 1st month of the year, the 11th and 12th months were Jan and Feb of the following year. The change from the Julian calendar to our current Gregorian calendar took place in Sept 1752 by Act of Parliament in England. Quakers opposed the use of the names (considered them pagan) of the months and continued to use the numerical dates for many years following.
