Geni has a daughter listed as Margaret James who married John James Hogan and they had a son named John Hogan.
I believe I found the matching WikiTree profile for the same John Hogan (as both WikiTree and Geni have his daughter listed as Bathsheba (Hogan) Nelson) though it has no father listed and his mother listed as Ann Sebastian (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L1SM-KBP).
So just wondering how these profiles match up. Obviously, more research required.

I have two questions:
Who was her mother Frances Norgrave (3rd wife) or Mary French (1st wife)? Her birth seems to imply the 3rd wife.
What is the order of Husbands?

Please post any sources with your opinions in the message boxes. Thanks!
Maybe one of the other profile managers of Mason-629 would be in a better position to address the following issues: Was 11 Sep 1699 the date of her death or her marriage to Thomas James? Who did she marry first? What is the real date of her birth? Who was her mother?
