John Fobes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massachusetts_Bay_Colony

John was the son of Edward & Elizabeth (Howard) Fobes

He married Abigail Robinson, daughter of Increase & Sarah (Penniman) Robinson on 14 Nov 1704 at Braintree, Norfolk, MA

Their children were Mary, Edward, Abigail, Sarah, John, Josiah, Nathan, Silence & a second Nathan

When Fobes-55 was merged into Fobes-15 on 20 December 2017, father and son, both named John and both having a son named Edward, were merged together. The youngest three children in the merged profile, the second Edward (Fobes-16), Martha (Fobes-18), and Libeus Fobes-17, were all born 14 or more years years after Fobes-15 died because he was their grandfather, not their father. Fobes-243 is a new profile for the son, in essence undoing the merge. --- Glenn Fobes (Fobes-241) 04/26/2020
