Need help fixing Colonial American trees? Post it here!

Oh geez the autocorrect lol
Profile for JINCY, not lynch
But now I am hungry so bye!

I give up

Thank you for updating. There are a few "naming" patterns in those lines which I am tracking since I find them interesting(my name even has a tie in to one, just a minor spelling change.Anyone interested in an easier to spot pattern can see my ggf Reuben Lombard Curran on this path) Most importantly the middle names make tree building a *bit* more sane for me while adding people since so many close cousins married other close cousins.

Erica Howton I suggest a fix for the merge issue on Thomas Delano, Sr.

I believe the Deacon Delano profile should only have Capt. Jonathan Delano as his father (Capt. Jonathan Delano II). It looks like a bad merge sometime. The alternate father is not accurate (Jonathan Delano)

Basically, I'm checking on the proper procedure for suggesting merges and updates to a Master Profile with locked fields. Thanks in advance for your reply, and I appreciate all the work from everyone on this thread to keep the Colonial profiles accurate..

Erica Howton Thanks for the assist!

This guy is NOT the DAR soldier he says he is:
John Andrew Jasper, Sr.
is NOT https://services.dar.org/Public/DAR_Research/search_adb/?action=ful...

Nor is he the man in the link to Wikitree:

Maybe folks are already aware - or maybe of no interest - and
Apologies for what is probably an off-topic post but I thought it might be of interest to those interested in Colonial America.

"Forensics labs need Americans with 18th-century ancestral ties to the states of Maryland, Delaware or North Carolina to come forward for genetic testing. If successful, it will be the oldest unknown subject identification ever made in the United States."

Hi - I have two colonial Joseph Scotts with exactly the same dates who have wildly different lives and families. See:

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000001212702044?return=match...

Obviously these should be mastered and one of them should have the dates corrected, but I don't know which.

Which one is the DAR?:
John Jasper, Jr.
John Andrew Jasper, Sr.

Thank you, Erica Howton

Oliver Wolcott, signer of the "Declaration of Independence"

His death date is locked with 12/1/1797, but his burial date is locked with 1727.

I don't know if this merge is right: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=86832522080

Richard and his duplicate wives "Anna" now have two sons (Robert) with same dates but different wives:

Robert Day, Sr
Robert Day of Ipswich

It is mathematically possible that son Robert had two wives, but I don't know enough about it to make that call. He had a son, Robert, Jr. by the second wife (if true); however that son was born before the death of his first wife (if her dates are correct).

And for these reasons I hesitate to complete the merge on Richard's duplicate wives:

https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/6000000006444341293?to=600000019...

I'm now more inclined to think that the merge on Richard's profile (first link above) should be reversed.

Would someone be kind enough to resolve the data conflicts on the following profiles? Have attempted contact with profile managers to no avail to date.

John Campbell, I
Cledith Brian Heater
Dora May Heater
George Lansbury, Jr.
Elizabeth Bridge (Coffey)
Mildred Jane Bridge
Daniel Amasa Hoskins
Margaret Laverne Hoskins

TIA,
