Research Disputes

I did not create this profile there are ERRORS:

Born: Charlotte? County, Virginia, USA

Parents attached are incorrect Benjamin (Soblet) Sublett Sr (1733 - 1816) and Elizabeth (Jordan) Sublett (abt. 1742 - abt. 1800) - I don't show a son William for this couple

I have this William Sublett as the son of Abraham Sublett Jr. (1756 - 1844) and Celia Sublett (1760 - 1827)

This William's wife was Mary Scott "Polly" SUBLETT (1788–1862) the dau. of Benjamin (Soblet) Sublett Sr (1733 - 1816) and Elizabeth (Jordan) Sublett (abt. 1742 - abt. 1800) -

Is this where the info. coming from? Connecting William as a son THIS IS INCORRECT!!
Benjamin Sublette and Elizabeth Jordan are Mary Scott Sublette's parents!
