I was born in the Year 1632,in the City of York,of a good Family,tho' not of that Country

I was born in the Year 1632,in the City of York,of a good Family,tho' not of that Country
1.请问有“be born in the year+年代”这种说法吗?如果没有,那么省略了什么?
2.为什么这些句子中有些普通名词要大写呢?
3.这里的“country"是什么意思?
这是《鲁滨逊漂流记》英语原著里的句子,这是我的一些疑问,
