Changed father to Miles Merwin, b. 1623.

Birth date is off - father was born in 1684

I just merged two profiles of Hannah Merwin - clearly was the same woman based on the data in common, but her father was either John or Miles. These are currently unmerged matches - PMs should take a look and see if they can reconcile the differences.
Now, according to "The Platt Lineage", p. 314, a Hannah Platt, b. Nov. 1865, married a John Merwin on Feb. 7, 1706.

Seems like a lot of Platts marrying several Merwins, so maybe that is the source of confusion.
