Miquel, when you have comments like the one below for https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Freestone-126:

You should use the comment section on the related profile (s) rather than send the message to Puritan Great Migration Project WikiTree as profile manager. That way everyone involved see's it. Thank you.

Elizabeth's profile states that: "Born a Freestone, Elizabeth (Freestone) Turner Gardner was a kinswoman of the Hutchinson family of Lincolnshire, England, and came to live with William Hutchinson and his more noted wife, Ann (Marbury) Hutchinson, in Boston."

How was she a kinswoman? Her father Richard Freestone was a first cousin of William Hutchinson. William was a son of Edward Hutchinson (1564-1632) and Susanna Tuttle. William's sister Mary (born about 1560) was married to George Freestone on 13 Sep 1578 in Alfotd, Lincolnshire. Their son Richard Freestone was born a year later, and was baptized on 19 Dec 1579.

I don't have the authority to add Mary Hutchinson as George Freestone's wife, nor do I have a source for their marriage. Perhaps you can do so.

I also would suggest a clarification of "came to live" in Elizabeth's profile. She was an orphan at age 8 in 1627 and Anne Marbury may have welcomed her niece into the Hutchinson home in Lincolnshire. By then, the remarkable Anne had borne 11 children in 14 years, and adding a niece made it a dozen!! She had three more children, and two died, before emigrating in 1634.
