This is my 9th great grandmother!
This was probably an error on my part. When I go to add a project account, NA and PGM are next to each other on my checklist. My finger probably slipped when I selected one rather than the other. Thanks for catching this.

Not sure why she’s protected unless she should be PGM.

Why is this profile part of Native American's project?

Do we have a source for her presence in New England before 1640 to qualifer her for PGM?

In my records I had William Clarke M. Sarah Russell, NEHGR 123 (1969):259-Judge Pynchon's Marriage Record 1685-1711. However when I now search that vol. that citation is not there.

I see a private poster has the information outsourced at http://www.bmgen.com/document/pdf/ClarkKelleyInfo.pdf.

Russell-11612 and Slye-8 appear to represent the same person because: Re-proposing this merge; Anderson goes with the SLYE surname and parents, so please merge Russell-11612 into Slye-8, keeping the parents attached to Slye-8. Thank you.

Stu, what is your source for the identity of her maiden name, please? Thanks.
