Someone had fun merging GEDCOM into FS

Further research is required. While, it would seem that it is more likely that Sarah Foote married Abner Whittier b. 1734 versus his father Abner Whittier b. 1695, see Sources because she actually married the father Abner Whittier 1695

Further research is required. However, it is highly doubtful that Sarah Foote married Henry Trussel in 1766. She was still married to Jonathan Kelly and having children with him.

The death date of 1791 for Sarah Foote may also be incorrect as it seems that Jonathan Kelly married Judith Easman in 1778.
