Edward Trask born 14 Nov, 1685,<Beverly Vital Records> was the son of John & Christian. He died after 1728, when he was included in his fathers will.<NEHGR 161:56>
This Edward Trask, died 1737<Beverly Vital Records and Probate>, who married Mercy Elliot and had among other children Osman & Mercy/Marcy, was born 1677, son of Osmund and Elizabeth.
Short story, you have the wrong birth date on this Edward, I am proposing a merge between this Edward and a previously created Edward. He will then be nicely hooked into the rest of Wikitree and have the proper parents.
