Revisiting this problem: Who is Christopher Carver 1705/06?

+8 votes

I am working on my Carver family of early Philadelphia.  I've run across a Christopher that I don't believe belongs with the family.  I have been in touch with the person who started the profile, who agrees the information unsourced and possibly wrong.   I've attached my notes in the ==disputed parents== section and wondering if folks could take a look and see if they have anything to add.

I haven't detached Christopher from his parents, but I think I've done all I can.  Really hoping someone else can find his parents and move him :)  There is another Carver line in Lancaster, but they are not in this immediate family.  I've searched through the quaker records on ancestry.com and have not found anything helpful.

Thoughts?

Andrea,

Your documentation and comments regarding disputed parents is very appropriate and necessary.  Since it looks as if you only have two other parties interested in the profile, your approach of contacting them and getting consensus on how to approach the parents is great Wikitree collaboration.

Unfortunately I do not have an source suggestions for you but this is where documentation of both the sources that affirm or dispute factual claims is important.

Give good and bad sources info and tell us why the bad source is bad or lacking. Then we do not have to keep comming back to bad info, it as been looked at and rejected. This puts the burden on those who give us bad info to find new info to support thier claim.  Cite your Sources, good and bad.

Good job!

Any further sources out there to solve this Quaker family? Should I detach him from parents?
