Hi Nancy (Diener) Regan and Gary Pile, been looking at this, doesn't appear to me to be complete, might be part of Sprigg-41(Eleanor (Sprigg) Nuthall (abt.1669-bef.1713)) as possible duplicate-birthdate place etc, was trying to line my tree up to sourced individuals as I have them, she is either my 8th great grandmother(probably-yes) or 1st cousin 9 times removed(maybe).

I shuffled them together off site and it works out, the children/halfs-steps, siblings and halfs etc are a mess though, thoughts? (I also posted on Sprigg-41)

Death date may be too early, because marriage to Henry Wright is documented in Monette as being about 1716; she later had a daughter Mary.
