This is a bad tree - it has Dinah married to the wrong William and the wrong William for her son. I have used tax records and a mapping program I have to show where she lived and where the other Williams of the time lived, I have presented documents which prove Dinah's son Wm lived in Rockingham til aft 1840 and DNA results of descendants of William link to Dinah's son Vincent's descendants and descendants of the daughters who married the Nichols/Nicholson men. Do no rely on this tree.
