I have found no evidence in 26 years that Robert Seaver of Roxbury (1608-1683) was the son of anyone, let alone a person named Thomas Savory (how did it get to be Seaver on Geni??). There is none to my knowledge, but I have not looked at every parish register in England for it. Robert Seaver came in 1634 on the Mary and John and settled in Roxbury Mass.

Did Thomas Savory leave a will that names Robert Seaver as a son? Are there parish records in England for the birth of children of Thomas Savory?

IMHO, the relationship of @Robert Seaver (1608-1683) to Thomas Seaver/Savory and Mary Woodrocke should be deleted.

I've let the curator know. I deal with many families from Rixbury but not this one.

Severed the doubtful parent connection and replaced with an Unknown Parents cap. There is one child that probably needs to be researched as most secondary sources (SmartMatches) seem to indicate that Savory was the name given to him. So far, that individual and his wife are not MPed.

Ben, My issue was really with Robert Seaver (1609-1683) being the son of Thomas Savory/Seaver and his apparent wife Margaret Woodrorke.

Perhaps I should have written the discussion on Robert's profile. Can you sever the very doubtful parent connection for Robert Seaver's parents and replace it with an unknown parents cap?

Thank you -- Randy Seaver

Just wanted to give this a bump. I have no issue accepting Randall Jeffrey Seaver expertise on this line and disconnecting the relationship, but would prefer the curator of the profile Private User do so and make any needed notes.

According to Robert Seavers profile, "Robert Seaver's origins in Eng not known". It looks like he got attached to Thomas and Mary (Woodroche) Seaver on Dec 29, 2010. Therefore, I thought that Ben wouldn't mind if I went ahead and removed Robert from these parents.

I also reattached Thomas' previous parents, and detached the place holders.
