The profiles for Poythress-42 and Poythress-41 have been disconnected because there is no evidence of the parent/child relationship.
Should Poythress-42 and Poythress-101 be merged since they originally had all the same info other than the relationship?

Check out https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Poythress_-_Peebles ... maybe you'll be able to find a solution in the information collected there. It's been ages since I worked on the Poythress family, so if you get "file not found", try putting the URL into the "WayBack Machine" box at https://archive.org/

R. Bolling Batte's research has Joshua as the first child (and John b c1665 as 6th). John (b c1665, m Mary Batte), was the son Christon (bp 1634). See RBB online chart and narrative. The narrative shows Joshua's son Joshua as husband of Mary Short (see info on first page of this JSTOR article).
