The info in his About section says his parents are Capt. John Marshal II and wife Jane McCarthy but he has multiple parents listed. I see some gedcom have been uploaded, so that's probably the problem that no one cleaned up. Based on the info in his profile, I'm disconnecting and / or merging as appropriate.

Humphrey is attached to three daughters named Ann. I'm hoping someone familiar with the lines can validate which Ann is his actual daughter and document her so the incorrect connections can be merged if they're the same person or disconnected if they're incorrectly connected to this family.

He also was connected to three daughters named Mary. I disconnected one because she was clearly the result of a lot of bad gedcom uploads that no one corrected. Her maiden name was Pugh but her About section notes said she may have been a Hinton, so definitely not a Marshall either way.

There are two daughters named Mary still connected. So again, hoping someone can help sort those out and document the real children for this couple.

I see some of the issues I posted about earlier this year have been resolved, but I'm still trying to sort out the two remaining daughters named Ann.

I can't find any documentation whatsoever that my direct ancestor Ann (Marshall) Hill is the daughter of this Humphrey and his wife. Does anyone have anything to validate their connection?

Ann Hill

However, this time around I did find some information about his actually being the father of Ann Nancy (Marshall) Applewhite:

Ann Nancy Marshall

And the list of his children at this link only includes the daughter Ann 'Nancy':

So based on this, I believe my own ancestor Ann (Marshall) Hill is connected to the wrong parents. Since I can't document who her parents were, I think it would be best to disconnect her from this family so the Geni pathways aren't incorrect.
