There are a number of profiles for Thomas Sherwood that need to be unduplicated.
The profile for Thomas Sherwood-59 (b. c1548) appears to be unique.
Then there are three profiles born c1585 that appear to be duplicates: Sherwood-62, Sherwood-1401, Sherwood-1625. All three profiles claim birth in England c1585-86, and migrated to New Enlgand on the ship Francis. According to the Anderson, the Thomas Sherwood that came on the Francis was born c1586. He was married to Alice Tiler [TAG 82:211-213], and came with four children who were all baptized in Kettle Baston, Suffolk, England. His wife Alice died c1638, and Thomas married Mary _____ (and this was not Mary Fitch [NEHGR 92:303]). Ater the death of Thomas, Mary married John Banks on 4Jun1658 in Fairfield.
Next, Sherwood-93 and Sherwood-1257 (b. c1623-24) could well be different people.
Finally, there are four Thomas Sherwood profiles that were born c1644-1648. I don't see enough information to do anything with those profiles yet.
Sherwood-131, Sherwood-854, Sherwood-902, Sherwood-1225
Based on the above, I would propose that
1. Sherwood-1401 be merged into Sherwood-62.
a. I suggest detaching the parents from both profiles and linking to them in a disputed parents section (unless someone presents documetation of parentage).
b. merge Alice Unknown-203348 into Alice Tiler-12 and remove Seabrook as an "other name", and cite Anderson / [TAG 82:211-213] concerning the misidentification.
c. Possibly also merge Sherwood-1625 into Sherwood-62. This seems likely to me but less certain.
2. Detach Mary Fitch-75 as a spouse of Sherwood-62 and add a new profile for a Mary ______ and attach as spouse to Sherwood-62.
3. Do not merge Sherwood-93 and Sherwood-1257 at this time (although further research may clear up).
I am presenting these proposals for discussion to see if some of these profiles can be cleaned up.
Any comments?
