Member Skeeter Wesinger suggests not, based on

And that the ancestry given here is more accurate

Geni profile parentage is based on https://www.werelate.org/wiki/Person:Nathan_Fiske_%281%29

Which, in turn, cites

Moriarty, G. Andrews, “Genealogical Research in England: The Fiske Family”, in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register. (Boston: New England Historic Genealogical Society), 88:269.

Children of Geoffrey Fiske, probably all born at St. James, South Elmham, order uncertain: 4) Nathan, b. abt. 1592, d. probably Watertown, Massachusetts, 21 Jun 1676, m. prob. in England Susanna ---.

I’ve uploaded a couple of pages from the Moriarity article here to read

The alternate parents seem to come from


from Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania: Genealogical, Volume 3

Nathan Fiske, the New England immigrant, son of Nathaniel and Dorothy (Symonds) Fiske, of county Suffolk, England, was born in Sufiolk about 1615. He was a resident of Watertown, Massachusetts, as early as 1642, was admitted a freeman there May 10, 1643, made selectman of the town, in 1673, and died there June 21, 1676. His wife’s name was Susanna.

Does that article cite sources the way the Moriarity article does?

What I said was you have two different people all mixed up.

I'm not clear on what needs to be done and based on what evidence. Can we take it a generation down and then back up? Pretty much I'm the technician to execute what a sourced profile says in its notes.

Skeeter I realize this must be frustrating for you! But I honestly do not know the answer, or how, specifically, it is made whole.
