I'll take care of that and then merge the Bethia profiles and annotate all the Tabitha-affected profiles & add the source showing Tabitha's non-existence, since this is a persistent error.
I'd posted on Tabitha's profile:
"There is an article in the July 2008 New England Historical and Genealogical Register which shows that this Tabitha Tisdale did not exist -- there is no record of Samuel Cobb's first wife, and there was no Tabitha of this age. I am in the process of moving her to the Disproven Existance category. See p. 197, footnote 100, available at archive.org: https://ia801403.us.archive.org/20/items/ErwinRoots_Blog_PDF/Register/2008-07.pdf"
