I have found that you know alot about the family as Robert Lowther is my x5 grandfather, and Aquilla Reese is my 5x grandmother, I'm confused as to are we a normandy family or from a viking family? Maybe you can help me, thanks in advance.
I monitor my ancestral lines with the daily wikitree report and have made additions/corrections to some of the profiles. I have also worked on some outside my family lines. Most recent are on Thomas Whitlock Sr and his children.
We're doing our semi-annual check-in to ask whether you have made contributions to the project in the last six months?
Please note that it is a requirement for membership in the 1776 Project that you respond to this check-in. Please post your response as a reply to this message on your page, for convenience of record keeping.
1776. I did work with others years ago others took and fixed them to suit themselves such as source citations and format in time line. Use sources that cannot be accessed for further reading where one learns more that birth death marriage, etc.
Please let me know any contributions and sources for any editing. Do you have a source for the marriage of John And Elizabeth Stout, Richard the immigrants parents? I just spent a good part of my afternoon with an edit to Richard and his second wife Mary Tilton. Someone added grandchildren as their children and used unsourced information.
Thank you
Sharon
I have no plans to edit the profile of John Stout for the foreseeable future. I just want him on my watchlist so that I'll get notifications. About the closest I'm getting to his profile this fall is the edit of his gg-grandson's mother-in-law Margaret (Unknown) Cypert.

If we don't hear back from you we will assume that you no longer wish to participate in the project and if so, you could rejoin at any time as is convenient for you.
Hi Sharon, I see that you are a Lowther descendant. I want to locate Joel Bowers Lowe, who married Patience Hissey-130 and not duplicate his profile. So far I do not fine him in WikiTree. Thanks for your fine work! Jane
This is Joel death record and identifies him as son of Johnathan and Pheobe Bowes Lowther. Born Dec 9 1826 and d Apr 19 1917 in Ohio.Ohio Deaths, 1908-1953 1917 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GPK3-T9V?i=458&cc=1307272&persona Note the mother's maiden name was Bowes i. e. his middle name. In addition his widow is named as Mary E on this record United States Veterans Ad... Payment Cards, 1907-1933 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939K-XNYR-6?i=549&cc=1832324&persona The record correlates with his death record. This Joel Lowther is not from my line: Robert Lowther-114 of Pennsylvania, son of William and Martha Vastine Lowther, immigrant from Ireland. Thanks for your effort not to create duplicates. Sharon
Please note I have removed you from the trusted list. I contacted all of the PM where I had done editing and received acceptance to the respective trusted lists. Vic Watt and I have worked together for many years.
Sharon
Hi Sharon. Regarding George Lowther, you're misinterpreting the text of the O'Hart source. The 1623 death refers to Henry Piers, not his daughter. Other sources confirm this anyway, but you should be able to understand it for yourself if you trim the sentence down to "daughter of Henry (who died 1623) by his wife Jana". So I'm going to correct the biography again, and remove 1623 as a death date for Margaret, based on other sources for Henry dying in 1623. If you want to dispute it, you'll need to come up with another source for Margaret's death.
Thank you Sharon West for pointing out that: There is conclusive evidence that this Hezekiah Stout (Stout-298) did not marry Sarah (Cline) Stout as she bought land October 29 1789 the same day he is said to have married Mary Powers.
Thanks for the followup post, but I'm not familiar with Wisconsin. I got involved with the Wisconsin Pioneers/Settlers question through my work with the Categorization Project (there was a wanted category on the profile of Bierman-212. You might want to get involved with the Wisconsin Project.
Various sources indicate that the two full cousins named Thomas Stillwell each had a child named Christopher, so the fact that a son's name was Christopher does not serve to disambiguate anything and this alone should not be used to prove lineage through Richard's line. We probably ought to continue this discussion on the G2G forum so others can help.
Six children are listed in the Hay Genealogy (John E Stillwell) for Thomas and Ann Hubbard Stillwell. Both Nicholas and Richard had sons named Thomas. They were cousins. They also had another half cousin names Thomas. This is one reason that we need to proceed with caution and not make sweeping changes in a short period of time. Problem with deletion of Ann Hubbard is that it changes previous generation from Nicholas to Richard, which may or may not be the case. I have heard from Ellen Smith but not Dale Rideout. Let's get their perspective before going any further.
I think you are on the right track regarding Thomas Stillwell and Alice Throckmorton. Children seem to match other downline genealogy. Points out an error in the genealogy record of Hetty Stillwell Lee. Thank you.
Agree that Stillwell-46 and -411 need to merge, but I would not delete bio completely yet. I agree to rely on multiple sources, particularly the best one. However, I don't want to delete all bio on -411 because it cites so many sources that support the final merger. I am OK with deletion of duplicate sources. This should be done before the merger. We need to be careful not to throw out the baby with the bath water. I'll copy the profile into a text file to preserve.
You wrote: Biography needs overhaul. My inclination is to delete this bio completely and merge with Thomas Stillwell-46 with the correct biography and the research separating the three Thomas Stillwell with correct data and wives. This is a lesson that relying on one source can cause a lot of errors and conflicting profile
HI Sharon, on second look, there seem to be less than 300 profiles that have the project box now - certainly not crowded. Go ahead and use it for now. By the time we reach the limit, we may have expanded capacity to include more profiles.

Do you have any sources for Joseph Laybourne having a father named William Laybourne?
Thanks!
I just sent you a private message concerning a recent merge proposal between Alcinda (Hardman) Piersee (1826-1920) and Alcinda (Hardman) Piersee (1826-1920). If you didn't get my message, please let me know. Thanks!
I got it and replied. Sharon

By chance is it to share the source of their marriage from FindMyPaster/

What information do you have. I will be very happy if one is source from Burton Parish. Why not let me know before editing?
