Biography

Sarah Agnes Howe, may be a non-existent person. Allegedly she was the wife of William Curtis (1540-1585)]].

Notes: People did not have middle names in the 1500s. When you see a double name, suspicion should automatically be aroused. It usually means two people have been co-mingled to fit the known facts.

Did William Howe and Martha Stasye have a child Sarah or Agnes. The parents profiles are unsourced so it's unknown.

From assorted unsourced trees and websites:

Birth

(Sarah) Agnes Howe was born about 1540 in Nazeing, Essex, England.
The estimated date is ok, but this comes from a Find a grave memorial with no stone to prove it.

Death

09 Jul 1585. Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA[1]
9 Jul 1585, Agnes Curtis was in court about her husband's will.
Stratford Connecticut was not even discovered in 1585.

Marriage

Roydon, Hertfordshire, England[1]
Not likely for a man who lived in Nazeing, Essex.
1555 Essex, England[1]

See the profile of Agnes (Unknown) Curtis for the life of William Curtis' wife.

Unknown 554098 shows as my 11th great grandmother. Howe 3077 shows no relation. I will include Unknown in my tree. Not the same person.

It looks like Unknown-554098 has been selected to replace Sarah Howe in the trees now...(?)

Unknown-438, should never have been merged with Howe-11235. William Curtis' wife cannot be proved to be Agnes Howe. I don't even know if Agnes Howe ever existed. Unsourced Ancestry trees are not reliable sources. I don't even know what to do with this. Disconnect from parents and change back to Unknown. Or Disconnect from William and wash the Curtis information. I think the second. Thoughts?

How-193 and Howe-3077 appear to represent the same person because: Mostly alike. I don't think she died in the Colonies.

Curtis-1320 and Unknown-438 appear to represent the same person because: Please believe that these are the same person. There's no evidence that William Curtis had a sister named Agnes, but he did have a wife of that name (LNAB unknown) who died in 1585. She's represented by Unknown-438. The unsourced Curtis-1320 profile has the same death date as William's wife Agnes, which strongly suggests that the profile was created for the only Agnes Curtis who was recorded as dying in Nazeing in 1585 -- William's wife, not his sister.

Please disconnect the parents and merge.

This Howe-3077 profile appears to conflate a woman named Sarah Howe with Agnes, the wife of William Curtis. The profile is based on the findagrave memorial that contains the same conflated relationship.

I am disconnecting Howe-3077 from Curtis-9 and removing the last name of Curtis. However, I note that the dates on this profile (about 1541 to 9 July 1585) are still the dates for Agnes' life.

Curtis-1320 and Unknown-438 are not ready to be merged because: The 11 year difference needs to be clarified. Also, did William have any sister born about 1551?

Smith-62120 Ellen Smith
Curtis-1320 and Unknown-438 appear to represent the same person because: I believe that Curtis-1320 represents the Agnes (last name unknown) who married William Curtis. The Curtis-1320 profile is currently configured as William's sister, but no record has surfaced here of his having a sister named Agnes as well as a wife.

Unknown-438 is the PPP profile and should be the merge destination.

The parents should be detached.

Unknown-438 (PPP) appears to be the same person as Sarah Agnes (Howe) Curtis (Howe-3077) which is not project protect. I've not seen any indication that William Curtis had more than one wife. Needs to be merged by the PPP manager.

Curtis-3131 and Unknown-438 appear to represent the same person because: Dates for Curtis-3131 are consistent with Agnes Unknown, the wife of William Curtis.

What is the evidence or other basis for saying (1) that Sarah and Agnes are the same person and (2) that Agnes/Sarah Howe married William Curtis (or, expressed conversely, that Agnes, the wife of William Curtis, was born Agnes Howe)?

The citation to "geni.com" is not satisfactory support for the profile.
