for curators: my profile is good enough to be a Master Profile!

Appreciate that, Jenna...

Ben,

I added The Notorious Captain John Stone to the "Pirates and Privateers" Project.

I'm off to work on my ancestors for the American Revolution Project. Apparently they're accepting non generals and your general wagon train drivers.

Here's to the ordinary joes!

Private User and Private User Thank you both for helping with this project. See the discussion I just bumped about the mess this family is in. I have not been able to fix the mess myself. I probably made more of a mess.

Joe the Wagoneer, precursor to Joe the Plumber? I try so hard to stay out of American politics... I really do.

But thanks for promoting my family pirate Erica... Still looking for a family witch. All I can find though are saint-killers in my ancestry... I mean not even a highwayman - a victim of a highwayman, sure, but... oh well. We deal with what we get... nonetheless, many thanks.

BTW the Westward Expansion Project has been started. Go Younger Gang!

I'm going to load Belle Starr into it now ....

Annie Oakley
This profile of Annie Oakley could be added to the Westward Expansion Project, Erica.

Wyatt Earp
Here's another good one. I'm not in this project, or would add them myself. I'm getting too many irons in the fire.

Done.

But there's no profile for Calamity Jane!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calamity_Jane

I haven't looked for her, but here's John Sutter

Here's Calamity Jane. She's in a different tree.

Oops- Martha Jane Burke, AKA Calamity Jane.

Tammy,

Done. You are wonderful. And stay focused. This one is my kind of Project!

Nathaniel Johnson

Please make him a master profile. I have to add a couple of more children but he's mostly correct.

His wife was Abigail UNKNOWN, not Abigail Stanfull May. He was NOT married to Mary Haven. His son, Nathaniel, was married to Mary Haven. There's a lot of confusion about Nathaniel and Abigail and I want to avoid having this profile confused with his son and having his wife confused with his step mother in the future.

Made Abigail Johnson and Nathaniel Johnson into Master Profiles. Check the curator notes for wording for me.

Thanks Erica. Private User and I are having an interesting discussion in the Captain John Johnson project about the wife of Nathaniel Johnson. I'm fairly sure that multiple sources have mixed up this Abigail with Nathaniel's step-mother. Either that, or Nathaniel was married to and having children with his step mother more than a decade before his father died :)

Either way, safest to assume for the moment that they are different Abigails.

Hatte, I'm trying to get the Nathaniels into the correct generations. Did the Nathaniel who was married to Mary Haven also have a son named Nathaniel?

Hatte, have I got this straight? This family is enough to drive a saint to drink:)
Humphrey Johnson m1 Elinor Cheney m2 Abigail Stansfield widow of Samuel May http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~villandra/MomF/f2...

Nathaniel Johnson son of Humphrey and Elinor m. Abigail Unknown
Nathaniel Johnson, son of Nathaniel and Abigail Unknown
m. Mary Haven

Let me know if I have that much correct.

Private User Yes so far, so good with what you wrote above about Humphrey and his wives and his son Nathaniel and his wife Abigail LNU. I do not know about Nathaniel the son of Nathaniel and Abigail LNU who married Mary Haven, whether he also had a son Nathaniel. I saw there were some cycles with him and his father which I assume you're working on. I just got the MPs in place with the right mothers/fathers/kids and left some of the other weird profiles unmerged for now because of those headaches.

You wrote (and the good sources agree): Humphrey Johnson m1 Elinor Cheney m2 Abigail Stansfield widow of Samuel May http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~villandra/MomF/f2...

Nathaniel Johnson son of Humphrey and Elinor m. Abigail Unknown
Nathaniel Johnson, son of Nathaniel and Abigail Unknown
m. Mary Haven

The source that you pointed me to says this:

Children of NATHANIEL JOHNSON and MARY HAVEN are:
i. JONATHAN7 JOHNSON, b. January 30, 1709/10, Sherborn, Middlsx, Ma; d. November 27, 1776.
76. ii. JAMES JOHNSON, b. July 21, 1711, Sherborn or Fram, Middlesex, Ma; d. April 11, 1788, Sturbridge, Worcs., Ma.
iii. JOHN JOHNSON, b. October 20, 1714, Sherborn, Middlsx, Ma.
iv. HANNAH JOHNSON, b. February 21, 1716/17, Sherborn, Middlsx, Ma.
v. NATHANIEL JOHNSON, b. October 04, 1718, Sherborn, Middlsx, Ma; d. July 21, 1733.

Hatte, I went over and over that, and couldn't see the forest for the trees. Thanks for sorting it out for me.

And since the third Nathaniel died at age 15, he is unlikely to have married and fathered children.

Hatte, take a look. I think I have the Nathaniels and their wives in the correct generations now.

I finally figured out Abigail Stansfied May Johnson had both husbands on the tree as her fathers. I took care of that mess, too.

I'll take a look :) Thanks!

The Captain John Johnson family is in MUCH better shape. Thanks to Tammy and Erica for help.

Not my profile but it should be a MP. Audie Murphy, 1LT
There should be a project for Medal of Honour winners

Good profile. Made him MP but will leave it to someone else to start the Medal of Honour Project (good suggestion!)

Erica, I am still learning how to do projects and I think that one should be done by someone a lot more experienced (and eloquent) than I am

I'm sure they will be along.

I'm not really a war buff and I need to concentrate on my own American Revolutionary War ancestors before I progress to more advanced work like Medal of Honor.

Eldon, if you start a project like that, I'm sure that many others will join you and will add Medal of Honor recipients to the project. That would be a nice one. Go for it! Eloquence not needed ;^)
