Sarah Martin was imported to the tree......Feb 14, 2023 at 11:18 AM

@Debra Denman I was actually going through them as well as they're attached to Cox, Montgomery,Sims,Harris and Stewart line. It was in relation to the discussion above on Cox line and I mentioned Martin line. The Martin lines going to me married each other often. I have a few sets of Martin Grandparents from separate lines leading out of America.

I have a Martin project as well. I sourced some Family Bibles and links there. I'll source what I can,merge or separate the lines. I see the issues with Sarah. Feel free to look at the links on project and add any as well.

Detached Field Pruitt from impossible parents.

On matching tree has the imposibles (rejected); the other shows Parents: Henry Prewitt, Rebecca Ann Prewitt (born Dobbs). Which date wise doesn’t look too great either. So rejecting also.

Geni tree for them is at Rebecca Pruitt

James Pruitt is not to be confused with his brother Henry Pruitt, Jr., who married Mary Ross.

I locked up tighter.

The merge above was incorrect. They have different names and different parents, and then the merges below were done and they also were incorrect.

I think this one, too, even though it doesn't have conflicting parents, I think the problem is that the son of Gershotn wasn't married, at least not to Patience Bracy. https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=81833537320

This profile is a mess and I revived a discussion about it. 3 - y haplo groups and two wives that belong to two different John Bryan's.

Stumbled upon this mingling while researching something else.

There are two John Parkers that marry a Lydia, similar time and place, and have a daughter named also named Lydia.
Both profiles are using the same birth and death dates, using the same statue for their profile pic, but are from different lineages and have different wives and children.
Daughters named Lydia are born on the same date.
There are no sources supporting to make it clear either way.

[Capt. John ‘the Minuteman’ Parker John Riley Parker]
His daughter [Lydia Parker Lydia]

And
[John Parker, of Mansfield CPT John Parker]
His daughter [Lydia Parker Lydia]

Not sure if this request will qualify here but this Filles du Roi profile is set to private, can someone open it up? The descendants are likely, too.

I accidentally merged Mary Mosby with Elizabeth Coleman, but I'm also not sure how both of them came to be the wife of William Lee Harris and who is the mother of Carter B. Harris

MH coughed up this FS tree, which is clearly wrong, since it has Elizabeth Coleman b. 1772, but having her first child in 1780. https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/KP72-ZMH

MH does have marriage records of William Lee Harris and Polly Mosby, July 4 1804 - Amherst County, Virginia.

With all the Clarks and Clarkes to keep track of, we need as much accuracy as possible.

John Clark, of ‘Mulberry Hill’

The About lists all of his ten children, and the following four are not among them:

Littleberry Clark (Clark was merged into Littleberry Clark...Aug 5, 2019 at 5:01 PM)

Major William H Clark (imported December 4th, 2021)

Susanna Clark (imported December 4th, 2021)

Robert Clark (Robert Clark was added as Robert Clark's husband...Dec 8, 2012 at 1:04 PM)

Private User - you opened up a worm can! Thank you so much, there has been a couple of mistakes for years.

I’ve updated and tightened up Capt. John ‘the Minuteman’ Parker & Lydia Pierce

Which of course led to a Parker rabbit hole (so many Parker’s).

I need to finish off figuring out the Lydia Parker Family.

It looks like your Fille du Roi issue was resolved. The answer though is yes, we can do Canadian Colonial America - New France and whatever they called British Canada - in this project. We certainly do New Netherlands. New Spain doesn’t seem to get much call but of course it was Colonial also. And indigenous peoples. It’s a date parameter - before 1776.

This is a merge from 2020 that was incorrect, and then the wife was cut off sometime later.

I found more information on John Parker, of Mansfield & Lydia Parker He also served, tragically, in the American Revolutionary War. And by coincidence, I had recently watched the “Outlanders” episode set at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Ticonderoga

Private User - William Lee Harris has been wife / confused since the auto completion of requested merges on Dec 29, 2010 at 6:49 PM.

I undid merges so there’s no conflict but left him with both wives attached,

Erica Howton hahahaha oops Sorry!
But I knew I was not up for tackling this one, so thank you, mucho appreciated!
If either had been a direct relative I would have set about to tackle at least that set.
I wish you ease in the figuring!
Thank you

Is this in good enough shape to be MPd? It's been merge a lot and has a lot of managers.

Joseph Keyes, of Bolton the FS link shows he was merged and there is a cautionary note and collab note on profile there suggesting he has been mismerged
Please see when time.
TIA.

These 2 guys, and probably the wives, need to be MP before any bad merges occur. Same names, similar dates, similar location, but different parents. (maybe they are the same people and one has the wrong parents, but I don't know anything about them and was passing by when they caught my eye).
