Thornton-1836 Jeanie (Thornton) Roberts
According to Anderson's Great Migration, the surname of Dunkin's wife is unknown and he did not have a daughter named Sarah. Unless more recent research is available, suggest removal of these recently attached profiles.

Have complete a brief update of Samuel's profile.

Consistent with Jeanie's comment, above,

  • Anderson, et al., report no such wife, "Mary Embree (1627-1690)" The sole source shown on her profile is an Ancestry Family Tree. I did not find a source reported for these details on the family tree.
  • Anderson, et al., report no such daughter Sarah (Dunkin) Lyon (abt.1655-1689), wife of William. Her profile reports she was born at about 1655, possibly Roxbury. Samuel Dunkin had children born and recorded at Boston in the same time period. A quick perusal of the Boston records for that period did not report a daughter Sarah.

Does anyone object to changing the name of Samuel Dunkin's wife to Mary _____ and to severing the association with daughter, Sarah? If you feel we would be overlooking important evidence, please post.

Thank you---Gene
