Howland-1439 and Howland-178 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate

Botts-238 Thomas Botts
some one add another duplication for Hannah Howland-178. Howland 2732 must be deleted or merge to Howland 178. If add someone please check before adding an ancestor to make sure there isn't a duplicate.

I am a member of the General Society of Descendants of the Mayflower from Plymouth, Ma. and Howland 178 is the correct. I am a descendant of Hannah- 178. Please fix this problem.

There is nothing that says Hannah was married to John Tinkham. A granddaughter of this Hannah married John Tinkham. He should be disconnected.

This is the same person as Hannah Howland Bosworth # 1688 and #1689 it needs to be merged as one. When I started to put info in I must have hit the mouse twice to put it in twice as you can see the numbers are one digit apart.

Request the erroneous information regarding Tinkham be taken out. As addressed below, this is for a different Hannah Howland. As it reads she had Bosworth children from the 1660s with her husband who lived til 1717, committed bigamy be marrying Tinkham, and then had 10 more children with him, the last one born when she was 100 years old. Obvious error. Please fix.

I agree with Darlene, and her comments below. Two woman have been incorrectly combined and the fixes need to be made. Can one of the profile managers take on this task, or would you like me to do it?

Something is very wrong with this profile. There are 2 different birth and death dates for her here. As a Project Protected, someone should fix her dates. R.C. Anderson's "The Great Migration" Vol. 2, page 1023 says about 1637 born. Married Jonathan Bosworth on 6 July 1661 in Swansea, Bristol, MA. Had first of 9 children in 1662 and her last child in 1680 according to "Mayflower Births and Deaths", Vol. 2, page 128-129. If you look at page 273, Volume 1 of "Mayflower Births and Deaths" you may see that the Hannah Howland who married John Tinkham is probably a different woman. Her 10 children born 1717 through 1737 don't fit with this woman's dates at all. There are probably 2 different Hannah Howlands represented on this one profile.
