In spite of these notes:

Curator Note from Hatte Anne Blejer (Rubenstein) (3/13/2012):

Keziah Baldwin is not documented as the daughter of John Baldwin Jr. of Milford, CT. Nor is she documented as the wife of Samuel Riggs, who himself is not proven to be the son of Edward Riggs III of Essex. DO NOT ATTACH TO MILFORD BALDWIN PARENTS.

Geni notes:

There is no evidence that Keziah Baldwin existed.

Keziah Baldwin is attached to this family.

Elsewhere I found that alternate sources have his wife as Sarah Baldwin, Not Kegeah / Keziah Baldwin. -

http://www.billputman.com/Riggs.pdf - but this pdf seems to have been removed from the internet

Regardless, it doesn't seem Keziah Baldwin should be attached as the mother of Capt. Edward Riggs.

Reverted the name to what it should have been - Wife of Samuel Riggs

The profile notes refer to Capt. Edward Riggs' father as Samuel Riggs, and his mother is listed as 'Wife of Samuel Riggs'. However, Capt. Edward's father is unname in his profile.

I know there was past discussion about Samuel's wife not being Keziah Baldwin, but I didn't realize Samuel's name was being removed as Edward's father. ?

Awesome! Thanks so much, Erica!

Btw, never got a response from Geni support about my merging issue. So just on a whim I tried using Geni on another browser and, lo and behold, I can do merges using Microsoft Edge but not Google Chrome I don't like Edge and have always used Chrome, so I don't know why that stopped working. So now I either have to go back and forth between browsers or just hope for merge assistance. I don't understand why what has worked for all these years suddenly doesn't! lol

My network used to log me off, we ascertained it wasn’t on geni’s end. Then one day it just stopped. I hadn’t changed anything. :(.
