Biography
Chip White is a retired software engineer who enjoys ancestry research. In some ways WikiTree is a lot like writing software: Research, Code, Test & Fix Bugs and try not to break anything. I was originally drawn to WikiTree because I've always thought that everyone should have their own Wikipedia page.
Now that I've been a member for a while, I have found that I am drawn to many of the stories of the individuals whose profiles I research, regardless of whether they are my direct ancestors or not. Ferreting out the details of their lives and discovering new and interesting facts can be a reward unto itself. And it's all free!

Welcome back to Team Massachusetts. We’ve been doing this for some time now. Let’s have some fun this weekend making lots of connections. Bob
Thanks for the quick action on merging those profiles. Your profiles after way better. Thank again, Mark
You may be correct. But while I did take and post the photos of the couple's gravestones, I'm not a manager of their profiles. My research consisted primarily of the information provided by William Cutter in his "Epitaphs, First Burial-Ground" appendix to Woburn Records of Births, Deaths, Marriages, (See epitaph (47), Page 16* - "Sarah (Usher) Tyng, daughter of Hezekiah Usher, a prominent merchant of Boston, and wife of Col. Jonathan Tyng (epitaph 83)."
I would suggest posting your note to the profile of Sarah (Usher) Tyng (1650-1714) and see if the manager, Chris Hoyt, might have additional research.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do. - Chip.
BTW: I did notice that Sarah apparently named one of her children "Hezekiah."

Happy sourcing. Bob
Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.
Keep up the great work!

I am preparing to merge your Space: Field Genealogy page into Space:Field Genealogy: Being the Record of all the Field Family in America, whose Ancestors were in this Country Prior to 1700 (these two pages are duplicates -- both are about the same source, and the other one is linked on MANY more pages). This note is to warn you that I do not know if the merge will affect the link on this page... (I am editing the links on Open profiles.)
The 2020 Source-a-Thon is taking registration now at this [1]. The S-a-T will take place from 8 AM EDT Friday, October 2 to 8 AM EDT Monday, October 5. If you want to participate as a member of Team Massachusetts, go to the post and answer indicating the team name. You need to answer the question so Eowyn can officially add you to the Team. We did a good job last year. Let's see what we can do this time around. Don’t forget to visit our Chat Page. Bob
Thanks so very much for your participation in the spring Clean-a-thon! Every suggestion you cleared (over 300!) made our Tree that much better. The WikiTree community appreciates YOU!

Thank you for participating in the 2019 Source-a-Thon as a member of Team Massachusetts. Together we sourced 285 profiles. Great job. Next team effort will be the 2020 Scan-a-Thon. See you then. Thanks for all your work. Bob
Johnson-85977 seems to me to be the best fit. I have John listed as being from Gloucester, MA and dying in Westerly, Rhode Island. I am definitely a descendant of the Rhode Island branch of Johnsons who settled in Coventry, Rhode Island. I don't have a clue who John Johnson's parents were but they were NOT Humphrey Johnson! Unfortunately, I have never found any books about Elkanah Johnson's earlier family lineage, Only comments about Elkanah's gravesite and those of his family, and Elkanah's will seem to exist to verify his life.
It seems like every time I manage to enter a couple of new people, I end up with another headache. I'm getting to old for this stuff! We can still go ahead with a merge on Jonathon.
My only question is who his father is; All the records have him born in Lynn. And all the Trees I've seen has his father as Samuel Johnson and mother Phoebe Burton. The dates work, but Samuel was born in Boston and died in Boston - so how did Jonathon happen to be born in Lynn. I've tried to do some digging today, but haven't found any thing to substantiate his parentage.
I may have the wrong attribution here but is not King William's War still an applicable category for this profile? I believe King William's War is still an active category. Thanks. D. Jenkins
