Walter Howe

From family records, I had Mary Child-720 as the daughter of Joshua Child and Elizabeth Morris of Roxbury. I cannot substantiate this at all in Roxbury records for this family, and I removed the parents from the record for Mary.

It appears that this Mary Child-111 is the same as Mary Child-720. They are each named as the mother of Ephraim Whitney, the husband of Thankful Harrington. The two profiles for Mary Child have different parents, which need to be resolved before Child-720 is merged with Child-111.
