Bob Keniston,

My suggestion is to change John's wife to "Margett", remove the maiden name, and put her birth year as 1622, per ref 1. Since you are listed as the first profile manager, I will defer to you. Roger Poole.

How did some trees arrive at the conclusion that John was married to Margaret Metcalfe?

Pickett-229 and Pickett-3015 appear to represent the same person because: Same person; same death date, wife, bio. I don't think there are any differences, just additional info in Pickett-3015. I couldn't find Pickett-229 when I created Pickett-3015.

No Englishman was born in New England three years before the arrival of the Mayflower. Let's do some common sense editing here.
