first line of text says that this Matthew was second son of John Page but he is attached as son of Francis Page (born two years before him) and Mary Diggs (born nearly 20 years before her husband Francis).

Could you review this profile and make corrections please? e.g., detach Francis as father; add text to support Mary as mother... or detach her too - the only source I could access (FindAGrave) says his mother was Alice: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/7136169/alice-chiles-page

Thanks!
