Notes and Caveats

The surname "Firmin" gradually changed to "Furman." For this genealogy, however, the surname "Furman" is assigned to all descendants of the immigrant who were born in America. Note that all children of John Firmin, the immigrant, were born in Britain, but all of his grandchildren were born in America.
The town of Newtown, NY, home of many colonial Furmans, no longer exists. It was in western Long Island at what is now the location of LaGuardia Airport.
Be warned that there is often uncertainty about birth order. Frequently the only source of children's names is a will, where it was the practice to list living male children first followed by living female children. Older children are generally presumed to be listed before younger ones, but this may not always be true.
The British Empire did not adopt the (modern) Gregorian calendar until 1752. Before that it used the Julian calendar, where (1) days of the year were 11 days earlier than they are now and (2) the new year started on March 22 rather than on January 1. The latter property means that births, deaths, and marriages that ocurred between January 1 and March 21 were recorded as being a year earlier than what modern readers would expect. In this genealogy the Gregorian convention for beginning-of-year is used for all cases where it is known exactly how the event was recorded. Still, in some cases where dates were acquired from secondary sources, it is not possible to know whether the year assumes the Julian or Gregorian convention.
