History of the Town of Hampton, New Hampshire: From Its Settlement in 1638, to the Autumn of 1892 (1894)

The Prescott memorial : or, A genealogical memoir of the Prescott families in America, in two parts (1870)

Abigail Brown I do not think that she married Deacon James Prescott, is there any info that supports this? In the Prescott memorial she is listed as just married to Jedediah Brown. Deacon James Prescott is just listed with Abigail Lane.

This is a great resource that may be more current than the Prescott Memorial book. They are mostly based on Joseph Dow's History of Hampton NH & supplement with VR, news articles & FindaGrave

The Lane Memorial Library (Rootsweb database)

Their record is Abigail Lane (1736-1811) daughter of Samuel Lane & Elizabeth Blake

Has Abigail Prescott, daughter of Ebenezer Prescott & Abigail Tilton, as a possible wife of Green Longfellow b 1731

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hampt...

Green married Abigail PRESCOTT in Kensington, N.H., on 11 Jun 1753. (Compiler's note: She could well be one of the several Abigail PRESCOTTs found elsewhere herein.) Farnham, Russell C., "The Longfellow Family - Part 2," The Essex Genealogist, " (May 1995), p. 108.

I don't know if there's anything more current than 1995 ....

Curator's call! I'm voting against any marriage to James Prescott anyway ....

Simon Prescott
which i have added today

and he did married sisters.

Removing the dau. Betsy Tucker , which is a 'Private' profile from Sarah (Thompson) Noyes (Sarah Noyes (Thompson), Jr.) & Nathan Noyes (Nathan Noyes (Sanborn), Jr.)

These profiles are really messed up, they do not seem to be the parents of Betsy (Robey) Tucker and I cannot be sure who her parents are, but I think Abigial Prescott & Jonathan Robey are a likely couple, but it seems there are no profile's for them on Geni, if there are I can't find them.

I have messaged two of her managers about the removal and issues.

I have some reservations about working with these Private profile's that are attached to the above (Sarah Noyes (Thompson), Jr.) & (Nathan Noyes (Sanborn), Jr.) and will be contacting Hiromimarie about the issues.

One issue is with the connected dau. Betsey Dewhurst (Long), there seems to have been added a 'Public' duplicate of her because of the Vandalism, I don't want to merge them and have a 'Private' profile become 'Public', they are within someone's family group. There are at least 3 or 4 others that are private.

Carole I agree. Take a look at the revisions on the profiles - much later in time private profiles could have become part of the Mis merge. Perhaps the best way is to 1) disconnect from unlikely parents 2) group them in a ticket for Geni Customer Service

PS it appears from the Lane Library site comments that there is much genealogical confusion over the many Abigail Prescott's. perhaps follow the male names for now?

Sorry - 3rd comment - if there are public & private duplicates that appear with correct parents just leave them un merged? Managers can later make those decisions for themselves ....

Removing ? as the spouse of Nathan Noyes . This will leave no name as spouse of Duncan, of which there are no other connections, tree of two, have no idea where they would connect.

Removing Nathan Noyes as the spouse of Lois Noyes

Merging the two Lois Whitmarsh's wife of Samuel Noyes, son of Samuel Noyes & Rebecca Hardin

Removed Nathan Noyes and Sarah (Thompson) Noyes as conflicting parents of Mary Ann Lane wife of James Lane

Removing her from Project

Removed Elisha Towle as the child of Mary Prescott

I have connected him as a child of Rebecca (Prescott) & Caleb Towle.

Seems these three profiles were not in the project.

Removed Rebecca Sanborn as the wife of Caleb Towle.

Erica Howton
Samuel Prescott
Suggest that #2 Gateway can be removed as the spouse of #1 Gateway, and merged with the brother Unknown Profile

Yes, please.

Private User
I have removed #2 Gateway as spouse of #1 Gateway, and merged #2 into Samuel Prescott

The Curator note will need to be changed to reflect Samuel's information.

There were only 2 children connected to him, I was able to find 2 others & have connected them.

I think Samuel Prescott is ready to remove from the Project after the curator note is changed and he is unlocked.
