Edmund Sheffield (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sheffield-89) has been added as father of this Elizabeth (Sheffield) Piatt (b. ca. 1654).  But her supposed birth place (Flushing N.Y.) is different from all of her supposed siblings (Braintree, Mass.) and they all have birth records (why would Elizabeth be the only one without a record).  I think this placement for Elizabeth is just guesswork based on  her supposed maiden name.  I'm not even sure Sheffield was her maiden name.  Should these added parents be deleted or just marked with uncertain status?  One secondary source showing Elizabeth as daughter of Edmond: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LH8D-4KQ
