Wondering why Dorcas Paine b. abt. 1701, dau. of Joseph Paine and Patience Sparrow, isn't listed in the upper portion where children are located. I will want to connect but I don't think it will be possible with just a Bibliography listing. Thanks for what ever you can do.

Sparrow-752 and Sparrow-42 appear to represent the same person because: Both born in Eastham, MA. Birth year in -752 says "before" 1675, with no sources on -752. Spouse on -752 also present on -42. Same death info. Please merge

Sparrow-637 and Sparrow-575 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, from name on -637, she married both Paine and Jenkins
