I noticed that you're working on pre-1700 profiles. This is just a reminder that you need to add valid sources, as described in the Pre-1700 Certification Quiz. Family trees do not meet the requirement of a valid source.
If you're not sure what is meant by valid sources for pre-1700 profiles, there's more info here.
Hello Betty, I have entered hundreds of pre 1700 profiles and have a personal standard to enter reliable sources for these profiles as I enter them. It appears one slipped by, could you provide the link to the offending profile and I will fix it. The Wikitree date entry screen is exceedingly clunky for entering source information into a new profile and sometimes I throw a placeholder into this entry screen to get to the profile where it is infinitely easier to use available tools to insert a proper source citation, but that does make it possible to forget to take that next step. Regards, Randy.
Amazing compilation of research on William Beebe (d. 1750) and also his third wife, Hannah (Wyatt?), and their daughter, Mary "Mercy" (Beebe) Jones. I wonder if anyone has noticed the following passage in the Hempstead Diary and whether you have hunch as to the identity of Hannah Beebe Jr. Who could she be if not another daughter of Hannah and William Beebe? Many thanks.
5 Oct 1756 [Joshua Hempstead]
Tryal of Bristow A Negro man (belonging to the Rev Mr Beckwith of Lyme) for committing a rape on the body of Hannah Beebe Jr a young woman of [missing text] He was found Guilty & received sentence of Death next Day.
Randy: Court documents from CT State Library mention Hannah Beebe Jr's father as David Beebe. Haven't found much on a David Beebe of Lyme, New London County, but there seems to be one who m. Hannah Willey, making their daughter, Hannah Jr. Would like to pursue to find out what happened to Hannah Jr after the court case of 1756. Court record shows that after Bristow was condemned to death, Hannah Jr. contradicted her testimony and the Governor overturned the sentence, so Bristow lived -- but we don't know the rest of his story either -- at least not yet.
Mary, that is very interesting and is cutting some new territory relative to the published Beebe Genealogies. Dr. Alan Henry published the gold standard for the Beebe Genealogy in 2011, but there is no Hannah Willey in his genealogy. He has a David Beebe, son of Ebenezer, born 1728 and a resident of Lyme, but his wife was Sarah ____, and he was born too late to have had a (say) 16 year old daughter in 1756. David Beebe (1728-bef.1760). For what it is worth there are four Hannah Beebes entered into Wikitree that had a mother named Hannah that were within the time window, but none has a father named David. The best fit of that lot is Hannah Beebe (bef.1726-)
I am going to remove myself as owner of William Hosford’s profile, on the hopes you’ll take up the haveL as a direct descendant, and since you’ve invested,time in it as well. BThanks in advance for adopting it.
Hello Randy, my name is Jocelynn (Cottrell) Bogie and I would like to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to keeping the genealogy accurate, adding and fixing the problems that come from well intentioned mini-genealogists (that's me), your tireless work on WikiTree and everything in between. I am unfortunately having difficulty contacting privately and am forced but humbled to express this on your profile. I have seen your name elsewhere many times over and feel that i am not the only one who can see you and all the great work you do. I am attempting to delve back into participating on this site after a Covid-19 Era pause to my contributions here..., but as I take the time to retrace my steps I see that I have made some errors. For that I apologize to you, and hope that I can get back to my intellectual-self enough to trust my future judgment in helping instead of hindering our collective goals. You are such a wonderful genealogist and I want to some day be able to contribute and collaborate with you on some of our mutual interests.
With much respect and humble thanks,
Jocelynn (Cottrell) Bogie

Randy thank you so much for updating profiles on my family site..I am happy to see that someone has been able to find information that I don't have access too for one reason or another..Thanks again
Thank you for your time and energy in creating over 1000 (actually, over 1800!) contributions to WikiTree for the month of July 2019. Your efforts are appreciated!
I'm working on baby steps into the WikiTree network.
My Ancestry family tree has almost 2,400 individuals, with some unintended duplication I have to go back and weed, but it's that's on all branches of my family.
I'm gathering there's no "easy" way to incorporate an Ancestry tree into WikiTree? Except the old fashioned way of directly typing it in. So, at least for some Beebe family who may be outside your "known" tree, I will be doing some typing.
I look forward to our conversations, and my own learning curve here.
I found a Rogers/Jones/Bogue/Beebe connection from Suffolk County, New York on www.ancestry.com and www.familytree.com and will fill in some of the Beebe blanks here on wikitree.
Lovely profile for Susannah Beebe. Noted one stray USA under the Vital Records Extract. The formatting this place uses makes me cross-eyed. I couldn't find it to delete it. Otherwise, very nice. Cari
