Freeman-1985 and Freeman-2152 appear to represent the same person because: Merging away the non-existent Jonathan b. 1675 use the date on Freeman-2152.

Yes Bobbie I think he fits nicely. I will make it so.

Brian, the merge is to do away with Freeman-1985 who probably did not exist. Please read through the comments below.

Bobbie, I personally don't believe Freeman-2152 & Freeman-1985 are similar enough to be the same individual. Even If you look at the family members (especially the parents) as well.

It does become challenging when you run into names that are used frequently.

Just a personal opinion/observation... :-)

Freeman-2152 seems like a reasonable merge choice. Thoughts?
posted by Bobbie (Madison) Hall
The Mayflower Society p. 156 Vol 24 Wm Brewster (2014) does not recognize a Jonathan, son of Mercy Prence and John Freeman. Let's detach the parents and find someone to merge him into.

Jim Manley, it looks like this was your profile when it was created. Can you supply any reliable sources, such as journal articles or vital records, etc., to support the profile?

Thanks, Bobbie

I agree with Angelique. I find no evidence, other than unsourced family trees at Ancestry & FamilySearch, that he existed. Anyone else have a source for him?

He may have been confused at some point with one of his cousins: Jonathan, son of Thomas and Rebecca born in 1678. Perhaps he should be disconnected from the current parents and merged with Freeman-2152.

This person is not listed in the book whose pages are shown on this profile. There aren’t any other sources listed for Johnathan.
Freeman-2152 and Freeman-5271 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth, same death, same parents. Please merge. Thanks.
