The most prominent documented historical death on January 21, 1693, was the Japanese feudal lord Honda Toshinaga, while a few notable early American colonial births were also recorded on this exact day.

A detailed look at the births and deaths recorded on January 21, 1693 reveals the following:

Notable Deaths

Honda Toshinaga (本多 利長): Born in 1635, he was a Japanese daimyo (feudal lord). Throughout his life, he ruled over the Okazaki, Yokosuka, and Murayama domains during the mid-Edo period. He passed away on this day at approximately 58 years old.

Lydia Dustin (Salem Prison Fatality): While some sources place her exact date of death a bit later in the spring, Salem historical records note that on or around this time during the wrap-up of the Salem Witch Trials, Lydia Dustin died while still chained in a Cambridge jail. Though she had been legally tried and found not guilty, she was unable to pay her required prison fees to secure her physical release.

Notable Births & Baptisms

Because formal birth registries were rare in 1693, most people from this era are tracked via church baptism or Christening records:

Jacob Levering: Born on January 21, 1693, in Roxborough, Pennsylvania. He is historically recognized by genealogists as likely the very first person born with the Levering family name in that region. He grew up to be a prominent landowner and pioneer of what is now Manayunk, Philadelphia.

Thomas Ayers: Born on this day in Woodbridge, New Jersey. He went on to become an early colonial settler in Middlesex County.

Marie Agnes Havet & Antoine Joseph Marechal: Church archives in Namur, Belgium, document that both of these individuals were baptized on this exact date.
