Research Notes
Disputed Wife of William Lord
- The Nickerson Family Association states that Harriet Nickerson was not the wife of William Lord. Please read their pdf article: The Fictional Hattie Nickerson Lord, by Burton M. Derick, VP Genealogy, Nickerson Family Association. Note that Dorothy Nickerson was married to a different man, not William Lord.
Disputed mother of Sarah Lord
- Sarah Lord, the eight child of William and Unknown Lord has been assigned by some to William's second wife, Lydia Buckland. However, Kenneth Lord shows in a 1703 court action involving the children of Lydia, and in Dorothy Lord's will, that Sarah was indeed a daughter of William's first wife. See page 264 of Genealogy of the descendants of Thomas Lord, an original proprietor and founder of Hartford, Conn., in 1636 by Kenneth Lord.
Research Notes
This person probably did not exist and this profile is likely conflated with "Hattie Nickerson", first wife of William Lord. [3]

I am good with that - please say how to proceed, whether to reject the approved merge so this profile will stay, or whether to complete the merge.
Thank you all.
In the Family Tree View, it makes it appear that the William Lord descendants are descendants of the Nickersons.
UPDATE - since I just moved all of 'her' children to their appropriate mothers, either unknown Lord or Lydia Buckman as the case was, there are no children to view in the family tree view.
So if it is better for her profile to remain connected to the Nickersons, in order to keep people from adding more profiles of her, then it won't matter.
