I don't know what happened to this profile, even after looking through all of the changes tabs, but it has turned into a mess. One reference that isn't reliable all of the time, FamilySearch user tree with conflicting information, (how is one baptized before one is born?...I know a lot about a lot of different religions, but I know of none that baptizes the unborn). His year of birth has been changed back and forth from 1673 to 1676 repeatedly. The marriage record I found doesn't match either...I'd be happy to fix this with making notations about the conflicts in references, but I really don't want to touch it without a profile manager's permission. This profile needs some serious time and great attention to detail, not just a fly in and look at it see something that doesn't agree with something so they change it with out using REAL references and sources. Family Search doesn't have it right either. As you can see, I've found some things and I'm willing to take the time to do the work that my 8th great uncle deserves.
