Why is Agnes Britain listed as spouse? Source info states he married Mrs. Plummer.

Dicken-60 and Dicken-49 appear to represent the same person because: These two are certainly the same person, although Dicken-49 has a more correct set of parents.

Margaret, this is the same person as Dicken-49, although Dicken 49 has a more credible ancestry. The two should be merged, but the more likely pedigree should be agreed.

I can find no clear evidence showing that the Chistopher, born 15 Jan 1618, to Myles Dickens (b 1578) of Staffordshire, England, is the same Christopher who immigrated to Virginia in 1671. The Christopher Dicken in Virginia appears to be a much younger man, who reportedly died c1714. Perhaps he was a grandson of Myles Dickens? Perhaps he was Christopher Jr.? In examining different unsourced trees, I find that people appear to have "adjusted" some dates to make this father-son association more tenable, with little success.
