I'm trying to work out if there are any real bits to this Deborah Haslock profile, if she was actually married to this man, if perhaps her birth and death dates are just wrong, if she's a mashup of multiple people...  She seems to be at the end of several generations of questionable connections.

M, it's worth tagging Southern Colonies into this question for a wider reach on G2G.

The parents should be disconnected. There are no sources for them ( the ones on the profile are for somebody else ), and "first-hand information" for a 1620 profile is just ridiculous.

Thank you. The sources attached to Deborah are ones I found last night and I thought they matched up.  How can you tell they belong to someone else?
Oh, did you mean Deborah's parents?  I thought you meant Deborah should be detached from John.  I'm not certain that her parents are incorrect.  There are some sources for Joanna being born to that couple, and then there are the will abstracted that show Thomas Freshwater (fresh something it's early) as a witness to something Deborah signed.  So I'm not quite ready to remove them.  But yes the first hand recollection is absurd.
Sorry, yes I meant the sources for the father George being the father of Deborah. The ones attached to George Haslock-2
I've been able to ascertain that the sources attached to her father actually do match up.  Deborah Haslock had a sister Johanna who married Thomas Freshwater.  The only connection to the family for Deborah is through her sister, not directly to her parents.  So though the relationship is tentative I've left them attached and am still working on the line.
