Sumner-719 and Sumner-204 appear to represent the same person because: Sumner -719 is mixed up, showing his father-in-law as his father. It seems clear that the info on Sumner -204 is more likely to be correct.

Correction or explanatory note required: The mother Elizabeth's birth year of 1768, well after Reuben's birth year of 1734.

Warning: Check the data.

A child's birth date should not be before a parent is six years old. A child's birth date should not be more than 110 years before their mother's death date. This would mean their mother lived to be well over 110. A birth date should not be more than 60 years before or after a sibling's birth date.

Birthdates of children CANNOT be accurate if this Anna was the daughter of these parents according to the source for Anna and parents.

I added Esther Puffer (1675-1748) as his wife, based on profiles for her parents showing they were in Massachusetts (she had been attached to Sumner-109, who was born/died in Maryland). Cheers, Liz

Hi Iris! I added Deacon Roger Sumner as William's father. The marriage date of May 26, 1698 for him & Mary Josselyn is actually his death date (according to the text/biography), so the marriage date was likely to have been intended to be "before May 26, 1698". You had Mary Josselyn as his mother. A Geni link cited on another Sumner profile shows this William as their son (see http://www.geni.com/people/William-Sumner/6000000002257908866 ). I'm descended from a different William Sumner, of Maryland, who apparently was mistakenly merged into the Massachusetts family at some point. I've set him as a rejected match with this William & will remove him as Roger & Mary's son next week (unless the other profile manager of Sumner-109 objects). Cheers, Liz
