I was working on this wife Elizabeth Unknown (needed bio) and ended up sourcing a bunch of John Perry's family, including adding his parents, siblings etc. and making connections. I have forgotten what to do with PGM Adjunct, do I add that to his parents as they have 2 children that are PGM don't add unless there is some controversy? I can't find when we use it on the PGM page.

Given the explanation in the profile, should we be detaching Anna Newman as spouse/mother on this profile?

PGM account received the following as a private message. Could someone please Chevy this out?

"A few years ago, I read a very enlightening article in The American Genealogist by William Wyman Fiske, July and Oct 2007. In this article, Fiske at last resolves John Perry of Duxbury's heritage. He is not the son of Edmund Perry and Sarah. I think you will find it fascinating. "

Hello,

It is my belief that this biography mirrors R. C. Anderson's work too closely.

Will you please re-write it in your own words?

Copyright laws, you know.

Perry-5634 and Perry-4524 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth, death and same parent. Some of his children moved to Sherborn, MA. His death was recorded in Roxbury, MA, not Sherborn. see Vital Records.
