Additional Curator's Notes:

This can be very confusing but attention to details will help you to merge correctly. Among the many children of Rev. Obadiah Holmes and wife Katherine Hyde were two sisters, Mary and Lydia Mary. Mary was born in 1628 in Rhode Island and died in 1690 in Rhode Island. She married Capt. John Browne. Note the "r" in his name. Sister Lydia Mary was born in 1644 in Rhode Island and died in 1693 in New Jersey. She married Capt. John Bowne, pronounced Boone. Note there is no "r" in his name. If you are careful about the spelling of the husband's surname and the place of death, you will be able to keep these sisters separated. Maria Edmonds-Zediker, Volunteer Curator, 8/10/2011.
