Something is wrong with the connection to parents listed for Sarah Inskeep. The father William Ward (Dr. William Ward) is listed with his birth c. 1631 in Watertown, Connecticut in America and died Dec. 1675 in Fairfield, Massachussets. Her mother is listed as Deborah Topping/Ward (Lockwood) born Oct. 12, 1636 in Watertown, MA and died April 19, 1660 in Kittery, Maine.
Sarah is listed as born in Footford, Staffordshire, England on Dec. 1, 1651 and died (unknown) in Staffordshire, England. A daughter Ann was born in Staffordshire and died in Delaware.
I question her parents Dr. William Ward and Deborah Topping/Ward (Lockwood).
I don't know where to go with this.
Is everything correct in generations up to Sarah Inskeep, with the parents (and connections to parents) being the wrong information?
Please help!
Thanks,
Sincerely,
Joanie
Joanie I'm having trouble finding the Geni profiles?

Sarah's husband John: his birth is listed in Footford, Staffordshire, England. He does not have any parents listed. Maybe this was just carried over to Sarah's information (inadvertently)? Death in New Jersey-and then Footford, Staffordshire, England is listed. Hmm- needs to be clarified. Cannot die in New Jersey and England. Burial in New Jersey. Should take out reference to England in his death information on the profile. Another genealogy list on myheritage lists Sarah's birth in Fairfield, CT (with the same Dec. 1, 1651 date).
I think there are some mixups and we should proceed with corrections from children up.
The profile info for Judge John Inskeep is based on http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=15844061 (I dont know if that matches the tagged image or not)
This page has his wife as Mary (unknown)

John Inskeep was the younger brother of the Ann Inskeep. He was born in Fulford in 1677, four years after Ann, and he became a weaver by trade.
In about 1700/1701 he married a lady by the name of Mary. They were probably married in Fulford, in which case they would have been married by John Cotterell who was the Curate at Fulford Chapel at that time.
John and Mary had 5 children, John, who was born in Saverley Green in 1701, and then James born 1702, Joseph born 1705, Mary born 1707, and Abraham born 1712, who were all born in New Jersey in America. As far as can be ascertained therefore it seems that John and Mary emigrated to New Jersey with John’s sister Ann in the early part of 1702. ...
John died on 15th December 1729 aged 53 and he was buried near his house at Cherry Hill where his memorial stone can still be seen. His wife Mary died on 10th September 1757 aged 83. The Inskeep family burial plot is situated in a meadow on the family farm on a high piece of ground bordering a brook which forms one of the upper reaches of the North Branch of Cooper's Creek.
John Inskeep's Will was dated 11th November 1729 and was proved on 10th January 1730. In it he named his wife Mary and his children John, James, Joseph, Mary, and Abraham (under age). He mentions real and personal estate, including "3 negro slaves". The inventory of his estate was valued at 556 pounds 16 shillings 3 and one-half pence. The incription on his grave reads "John Inskeep died December 15 1729, aged 52 years. He was born in Sadeley Green Staffordshire England."

Ann Inskeep was born in Fulford in about 1673. As far as we can ascertain Ann emigrated to America with her younger brother John Inskeep and his wife Mary sometime in 1702.
She then met a man named John Hussey whose previous wife Grace had recently died, and she settled in Newark in Pennsylvania with him. At the Newark Monthly meeting on 6th March 1703 Ann and John announced their intentions to marry, which they did later that year.
They had 10 children, first Anna, then triplets Rebecca, John, and Nathan, and then Christopher, Mary, Stephen, Anna, Theodate and Content.
====
Ann (Inskeep) Hussey is in the wrong generation.
====
The parents of John ll (married Mary) & Ann (Inskeep) Hussey were John l Inskeep & Sarah Ward of Fulford, England (not CT)
====
John is thought to have married Sarah Ward, born in 1651, in Fulford in about 1676, though no record of the marriage has yet been found. However we do know that he and his wife had seven children, Ann, John, James, Catherine, Margaret, Jonathan and Isabell. It was Ann and John who emigrated to the U.S.A., and it is their stories which follow.
====
John l & John ll had been merged into each other somehow at some point in the past.
====
Suggestion:
- follow the book
- make new profiles for John l & his wife Susan Ward
- temporarily marry Susan Ward to both John l & John ll
- make a new wife for John ll - Mary
- correct John ll's data
- then move the children of John ll & Susan to the proper position through edit relationships (drop down)
- be sure & link back source data within the profile overviews, better yet, upload the pages

Was this clear as mud?
I think I've got this mostly straightened out. Some more notes that could be filled in though:

E. Wallace Jr.: 'Never at any one time since its establishment in America has the family assumed large numbers in the male line. This doubtless accounts for the small number of distinguished men; yet among them are found two judges of the Gloucester County Courts, one Mayor of Philadelphia, two officers of the revolution and subsequent to that time, many distinguished in the lesser walks of life, hardy, honest, kindly, God fearing men and women, the bone and sinew of the nation.' John Inskeep, (Judge John) emigrated before 1708 with his wife Mary, his sons John, James, Joseph and daughter Mary. Another son Abraham was born in New Jersey. Their son James married Mary Miller, October 22, 1725. James and Mary had five children being; Mary, Sarah, Catherine, Joseph and Abraham. Sarah Inskeep, married 'COL' John McColloch, and Joseph Inskeep, married Hannah McColloch, John's sister. John Inskeep, husband of Sarah Ward, and one of the three sons that immigrated to America with his father, built the Inskeep house in 1725. It is said that the house burned down in 1770, and was rebuilt by 1771. The third John Inskeep, was the owner at that time. The property was in the Inskeep family until 1936.
