Everything I've seen has his wife as Ellen Wakeman born ~1607. Somehow, she has gotten mixed up with Hester Wakeman born ~1617.

I'm fairly certain Ellen and Hester are different people.

Anyone object to splitting Henry from the other (presumably mistaken) wives, and creating a new, valid profile for Ellen?

My knowledge on this topic is incomplete. I defer to you, Grant.

Many thanks for pointing this out, Grant. I've gone ahead and severed Hester Wakeman and Abigail from Henry Glover, leaving only the Helena profile still attached. I guess the jury is out on whether Helena was originally a Russell or a Wakeman, so I've left the birth name field blank, and have included a passage that details the debate, as best I was able to find it, between the two possibilities. Contact me if there are any further updates to this debate that I might have missed, that should tip the balance to one side or the other.

Again, my thanks for notifying me (and apologies for the delay). -Ben.
