Biography

PM update: I received a message from fellow WT member that, "John Prince married a Margaret (this profile) but not Margaret Skillings. It appears that someone conflated Thomas Prince and John Prince." The sources on this profile are from Ancestry (.com) and I'm not able to view them. It also appears that this Margaret's surname may need to be changed to Unknown unless we can find a source for her birth. Margaret is my 8GGM and I had adopted her profile, all help is appreciated. Thank you, CheriHallisey-27 22:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
