I asked for help in a Comment on the profile for Stephen Albertse Terhune (Terhune-36). When I received no response I posted the request on G2G, but no one has responded. I believe that Stephen Albertse Terhune and Lidia Davidse DeMaree had a son Albert, born in 1708, who married Maritie Martesse and who was my 6th great grandfather.
WikiTree has another Albert Jansen Terhune (Terhune-197) who was born in 1704 and is the son of Jan Albertse Terhune and Elisabeth Bertholf and hence is a cousin to the Albert born in 1708. I believe this Albert married Sarah Lee Cornelis and had only 2 children.
These are some of the sources I used:
*Henry B. Hoff. "Genealogies of Long Island Families. From The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record". Baltimore, Maryland: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc, 1987. Volume II, pp. 134-143.
*Herbert Stewart Ackerman. "The Terhune family: descendants of Albert Albertse Terhune of 1654". Ridgewood, NJ, 1946

Not all of the sources are in agreement as to which Albert married Maritie Martesse and is my 6th great grandfather. But I think it is clear that there was an Albert Terhune born in 1708 and his profile is not in WikiTree.
Am I allowed to create the profile for the Albert Terhune born in 1708? Is there a way to determine which one married Maritie Martesse?
Thank you,
Barbara Regan
