How did I get taken off as PM of this my 8th great Grandfather's profile?

Do not believe Elizabeth gave birth to Mary at 11 years of age. Also John was born in 1637 and died in 1717, he is my 8th great grandfather.

Cave-1084 and Cave-11 appear to represent the same person because: same parents and wife

Do we have anything other than Passenger and Immigration Lists and Ancestry Trees as sources? Wondering about marriage to Elizabeth Travers. Thanks!

John Cave was born ca 1640 in England, the son of Samuel Cave and Rachel Kellogg. He was an importer of fine wines. He owned land in Stafford County. He married 1) Unknown Andrews, daughter of George Andrews and had issue: John (this John died in 1749 without issue) and David.

He married 2) Elizabeth Travers and had known issue: Mary. It is also possible that John Cave was the father of William Cave who died in 1742 of Stafford County
