It should also be noted that the "source" that identifies Sarah as STREETER also says that Nathaniel was born in 1731. Possibly a different Nathaniel?
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.
