Which "source" are you referring to? I don't see it here...
It occurs to me that "1731" could be a typo for "1631." That's the kind of simple error that may explain how nonexistent people get created inside genealogy software. ;-)
I'm referring to the page of "Holland Marriage Records" that's attached to the profile as a picture. I put it in quotes since it's accuracy is disputed.
Profile Streeter-40 (Sarah Streeter) states: "Sarah Streeter has been confused and was once conflated with Sarah Holland; Torrey's NE Marriages gives her maiden name as Streeter but sources do not mention this. Sarah Streeter also has been confused and was once conflated with Sarah Gleason."
Seeing that this is a known pattern of confusion, I conclude that the unsourced edits that added Stephen Streeter and |Ursula Adams to this profile as parents were the result of an innocent mistake by a member who was misled by erroneous genealogy. I am removing those two as the parents of Sarah Unknown.
