Profiles Mentioned:

We're showing Abigail's father as John Marsh and her mother as Ephraim Marsh.

I've never encountered a woman named Ephraim, so that raised a red flag for me.

Here's what WikiTree says, based on her marriage record and death record:

Abigail was born about 1736. Her estimated birth year is calculated from her age of 27 on the date of her death on March 15, 1763. She may have been the daughter of Ephraim and Hannah (Smith) Marsh. Vital data concerning their daughter Abigail born on April 27, 1736 in Haverhill match Abigail, who is subject of this profile including the fact that Joshua, her husband, was also of Haverhill.

Should we change her parents to Ephraim Marsh and Hannah Smith, or should we show no parents at all? Input welcome!
