Below is a private message sent to the New Netherland project by a WikiTree member. I created this page because I couldn't begin understand the message without some hyperlinks to the profiles mentioned. Now that I have followed the links, I cannot see why it was sent to New Netherland, as I have not seen any relationship to the project. There do appear to be some issues of conflation, duplication, and probably genealogical errors needing to be worked out. Ellen Smith, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
There are some issues below with some of these profiles below that are connected to New Netherland Settlers. Could you take a look at them.
I’m a direct descendant of James Anderson-45115. I’m writing this about his father, Rev. James Anderson-13257 and siblings. Rev James Anderson is married to Suit Garland-11.
I don’t believe Rev. James Anderson-13257 married Agnes Craig. There is a James Anderson-2155 in WikiTree married to an Agnes Craig in Virginia. He also had a father named John Anderson.
I also don’t believe that Rev James Anderson-13257 had a son, James Anderson-9141.
It doesn’t make sense Rev. James Anderson would have moved from Virginia to New Jersey and left an infant son behind. None of the historical and church histories mentions an earlier wife from Virginia.
All of Jame Anderson-13257 children were from his first wife, Suit Garland. This is from An Authentic History of Donegal Presbyterian Church by Ziegler.
There is also a problem with the two Garland Andersons, they have the same birthdates and are married to the same Jane Chevaleir , and they each have a different daughter named Elizabeth Anderson. These two Elizabeth Anderson daughters are connected to four different Elizabeth Anderson profiles in WikiTree.
Garland Anderson-54821 and Garland John Anderson-16597 need to be merged as they are the same person and are married to the same person, Jane Chevalier.
If you look at the profile for Garland Anderson-54821 he is married to Jane Chevalier-557, with a daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-23427 who is married to Samuel Breese. I think this should all remain as it is.
But if you look at the profile for Jane Chevalier-557 you will see she is married to three different men.
Garland Anderson-54821 with a daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-23427 with Jane Chevalier-557 as the mother.
Garland John Anderson-16597 with a daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-16596 married to Benjamin VanCleef. But Elizabeth’s mother is Jane Chevalier-407. Very confusing.
Joseph Arthur-1015 with a daughter, Abigail Arthur-746 and Abigail’s mother is Jane Chevalier-407. Also confusing.
If you look at the profile for Jane Chevalier-407 you will see she has two husbands.
Garland John Anderson-16597 with daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-16596.
Joseph Arthur-1015 and daughter, Abigail Arthur-746.
Another problem is the two Jane Chevaliers needs to be fixed. I think they are two different Janes and only one is a Chevalier.
How can this all be corrected?
It seems obvious there is only one Garland Anderson. Same father, same mother, same birth date and same wife, Jane Chevalier.
The two, Garland Anderson and Garland John Anderson need to be merged.
It’s confusing with the two different Jane Chevaliers married to the two Garlands. One is Jane Chevalier-557 married two both Garland Andersons and Joseph Arthur-1015.
The other is Jane Chevalier-407 with husbands, Garland John Anderson-16597 and Joseph Arthur-1015.
In the profile for Garland John Anderson-16597 is married to Jane Chevalier-557 who I believe may not be a Chevalier. They have a daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-16596 who I don’t think is their daughter. This Elizabeth's parents I believe are most likely John Anderson-257 and Sarah Craig-78.
John Anderson and Sarah Craig have a daughter in WikiTree, Elizabeth Anderson-34440. They have the Manalapan, Monmouth, NJ connection.
I think the two Garland Andersons need to be merged. To do his some of the relationships need to be changed along with some profiles.
Elizabeth Anderson-16596 needs to be unlinked from Garland-16597 and Chevalier-407 and then merged with Elizabeth Anderson-34440.
Next Garland John Anderson-16597 needs to be unlinked from his marriage to Jane Chevalier-557 and Jane Chevalier-407.
Then John Garland Anderson-54821 and Garland John Anderson-16597 can be merged.
Jane is also married to Joseph Arthur-1015. Her last name could more accurately be unknown. She is probably correctly married to Joseph Arthur-1015 and their daughter, Abigail Arthur-746 is probably their daughter.
Unless this Jane Chevalier-407 has a last name Chevalier it probably should be changed to Unknown.
Elizabeth Anderson-16596 is married to Benjamin VanCleef-60. Benjamin has another wife also an Elizabeth Unknown-314613.
These two Elizabeth's need to be merged.
Then I believe everything should be in order.
There will be one Garland Anderson-54821 married to Jane Chevalier-557 with a daughter, Elizabeth Anderson-23427.
There will be one Elizabeth Anderson-34440 whose parents are John Anderson-257 and Sarah Craig-3395 and Elizabeth will be Benjamin VanCleef-60 only wife.
Joseph Arthur-1015 will be married to Jane Chevalier-407 or Jane Unknown with a daughter, Abigail Arthur-746 married to Ebenezer Hazard-285.
I believe this correct.
