Research Notes

• 21 Sep 2018: In regard to Joseph Webster (Webster-574), Elizabeth Shotwell (Shotwell-20), and their children (Descendants), to include Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, Sarah, Rachel, Deborah, Abraham, Susanna, Anne, Martha, and William. Research of Quaker Monthly Meeting of Friends Records has been conducted, along with research into other possible Records (on-line and off-line). The research has, and is still being done, as with any genealogy work, it will always be ongoing. There is Evidence in on-line Quaker Monthly Meeting of Friends Records showing Joseph Webster, Elizabeth Shotwell and their children to be real people, husband, wife, parent, and child. Joseph and Elizabeth have been rejoined to their children, with some on-line Monthly Meeting sources included.
• 17 Sep 2018. Kenneth Kinman posted: Her father was supposedly Hugh Webster (Webster-584), but if so it was probably by a first unknown wife (he didn't marry Sarah Marsh until 1754). And with two links to Ancestry Family Tree's Link to Ancestry Family Tree with Martha Webster and Link to Ancestry Family Tree with Hugh Webster.
• 09 Dec 2017: Went through the children that Marty Ormond unlinked from parents Joseph Webster and Elizabeth Shotwell, I created a Mr. Webster (Webster-8115) for us to use until this gets sourced and corrected. Reason for Mr. Webster, when Ormond removed parents, all the children were not linked together, all stand alone profiles, now they are linked together with unknown father, Mr. Webster.
