Conflict on Mary Havens Cook and this profile a Work in progress

Important Note about Merges

Many family trees have mixed up the birth data for Mary Havens, b. 1644 in Rhode Island, who married Thomas Cook IV, clearly as a 2nd wife and NOT his father: Thomas "Bowcher" Cook III who married a "Mary Unknown" in England.

More research is needed to resolve conflicts about this person's life. Too many past merges have been done that have completely confused 2 different women's profiles, in my opinion.

Mary Havens who married Thomas Cook IV in Rhode Island clearly did not marry in the 1620s or 1630s or have children before her birth in 1644. Her parents did not arrive in America before 1638, for example.

I believe no further merges should be made until these questions are resolved.^[1]
