My Sumrall line has been cut, so I was looking to see when and why. I found:

Jacob Summerell was disconnected from his parents Henry Summerell and Sarah Summerell (Barnes) and siblings Jesse Summerall, Barnes Summerell, James Summerell and Henry Summerell by Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus.

However, I don't understand why the cut was made when there are notes about his parentage in his profile. I do see there are two sets of parents mentioned for him:

1. Henry Summerall and Sarah Barnes for which there are sources
2. Henry Summerall and a wife named Roseanna for which there are no sources and which I've never seen listed as his parents anywhere else

Some of the sources listing Henry and wife Sarah Barnes as his parents:

I've certainly seen profiles with much less info connected to parents with much less documentation and I see there is no prior discussion before this cut was made. I'm curious what was the determining factor(s) for the cut. Without solid info to refute the parental connection as it had been and based on the fact that the prior connection has been accepted for many years here and elsewhere I believe the connection should be restored.

Thank you in advance for a second look at the info on the connections that were cut and hopefully some clarifivation on why the cut was made

Hello Debbie Gambrell I do lots of merges and if I understand correctly there were two sets of parents. I took the easy way out and disconnected both of them. I did not take the time to read and study the sources. You are welcome to attach the correct ones. If you are unable to do that, I will do it for you. When I disconnected it was not because the sources were not convincing, it was because I didn't feel like I had the time to spend on that profile.

There are 700 + Patriots of the American Revolution who have matches right now to go through. More trees are continually downloaded. I am doing my best.

Thanks for taking time to explain, Faustine Darsey on partial hiatus

I was able to just 'undo' the disconnect for my line under the Revisions tab. I just hadn't wanted to do that without any discussion about why the line was cut in the first place. I'm sure everyone else down these lines will be happy to have their connections restored as well.

Thanks! Have a blessed rest of the day.

That is very considerate of you! Thank you.
