I'd like to see something more reliable than Burke's Commoners statement "that he was reputed to be" to confirm the relationship and there is the issue that Monmouth would have only been 13 or so at the time of Jennings birth. I'd prefer not to have Jennings added, even as an uncertain son, until better evidence is found.
Crofts-1 and Scott-35740 appear to represent the same person because: clearly the same man - Crofts-1 is the older profile and any merge should be into Crofts-1 as "Scott" was his married name, not at birth. I have added a PPP to Crofts-1 in advance of the merge. Please merge them now.
can we add him as an uncertain son?
