could you look again please? The profile for Cheatham-705 has no parents attached and I edited the research notes about the couple that was detached. If the two profile represent different Thomas Cheathams, could you please either detach the profile of Elizabeth (Akin) Cheatham (abt.1757-abt.1820) from the Stephen who was not her husband? You might also want to look at the children of Stephen named in the text of Cheatham-108 but who have profiles attached to Cheatham-705. Thanks!

edited - Thomas m Tabitha was a brother of Benjamin, not the immigrant. I deleted the text that mis-stated the relationship. Sorry for any confusion.
