The information from Source item number 1 and number 2 (above) actually belong to another generation. The data from source number 2 (the share by "tnrt48" on ancestry.com) might have been collected by "tnrt48" as notes for another use but it does not belong to this [TREGRE-19] profile.
The Generations... #1: Andreas Tregre (c.1625-bef.1720) [TREGRE-19] assumed father of -> #2: Jean Tregre (c.1660-bef.1720) [TREGRE-22] proven father of -> #3: Andreas Tregre (c.1687-c.1773) [TREGRE-12]
The added data from the ancestry link (ancestry media) actually belongs to the generation #3: Andreas Tregre (c.1687-c.1773) [Tregre-12]. Note that the Andreas Tregre named in the 1724 census is listed as 37 years old so it cannot possibly be info for generation #1 [TREGRE-19].
