I'd like to add to her bio, including her children and second husband from this source: Boston, MA: Inhabitants and Estates of the Town of Boston, 1630-1822 (Thwing Collection). Inhabitants and Estates of the Town of Boston

And then add the children over on william smith's profile as well?

Let me know if there any objections.
