Hi Doug,

I agree with your assessment. That was what I entered in 2011. Another WikiTreer changed the parents. I don't have any additional records to prove or disprove either one.

There is a William Weeden-2177 whom married Sarah Peckham. However, the daughter Mary is a generation later. That's where the Mary Weeden who married Thomas Greenman fits in.

Can you fix it? If you need to be a Trusted List member, please email me the request.

A family tree that was produced by my father during his field research in RI in the 1980s also lists "Mary Weeden's parents as William and Sarah (Peckham) Weeden." I would like to know how confident the attached parents, James Weeden and Mary are. Thanks.
