There was previously an erroneous merge here. John, the "Man called England," a stranger, married Patience Skiff. John, son of John Jr. and Experience Folger, married Mary Swett. These are not the same men. The two profile have been separated. DO NOT merge John "England" Swain and John Swain, son of John and Experience.
