Deborah, it appears that at least one of the reasons some of these changes have been made is that you have a child attached to Elisha that is clearly not his.
John Sargent
That John Sargent's father was born in Ireland and his name was James.
This is why we must provide sources for what we put in the tree. The person who made the changes should have discussed it with you first but he based the change on the fact that records show John's father was born in Ireland.
