Managers of Katherine Beach,

I am contacting you about this profile: Catherine Beach

I was looking on GINI for information on Katherine Cook who married my 9th great-uncle, Richard Beach. To my surprise, I discovered a lot of incorrect information. Where do I start??

Thomasine Mitchel was married to a Hugh Crocker, but not to Sir Hugh Crocker of Exeter.

Hugh Crocker of Exeter is most likely my 10th great-grandfather and he was married to Elizabeth Colleton 7 Jul 1621 at Saint Olave,Exeter, Devon, England. There is no record that he was married to any other woman. He and Elizabeth had 12 children who were all christenied between 21 Jul 1623 and 07 Feb 1640. Elizabeth died about 1657 or before 1660 in Exeter and Hugh died 1660 in Exeter.

Their children and christening dates were: Hugh 1623, John 1625, Petter 1626, Sarah 1627, Marye 1630, Robert 1631, Martha 1632, Thomas 1633, William 1636, Ursalla 1637, Petter (again) 1637, and Hanna 1640.
=========================
Hugh Crocker of Modbury, Devon, England married Thomasin Mitchel 10 Jan 1610 in Ermington,,Devon,England. Hugh Crocker and Thomasine had 7 children at Modbury. They are with their birth or christening dates: John 1612, Mary 1614, William 1615, Hugh 1616, Joane 1619, Samuel 1623, and Alice 1625. Hugh was born Born about 1588 in Ugborough, Devon, England . (some say Kingsbridge) Thomasine Mitchel was born about 1589 in Exeter?, Devon, England and died 1 Apr 1628. Some genealogist agree these are the parents of Deacon William Crocker and John Crocker that immigrated to Massachusetts. Hugh and Thomasine were about 20 and 21 years of age when they married in 1610. Thomasine died in 1628 at age 39, three years after the birth of Alice, her youngest child. When did she have time to marry George Hull and William Cook? She didn't. Perhaps there was another one or two Thomasine Mitchells.

Sir Hugh Crocker of Exeter was not married to Thomasine Mitchell but was married to Elizabeth Colleton. If you read the Will of Sir John Colleton, the brother of Elizabeth, you will find that he acknowledges his loving niece, Sarah Crocker. She lived with his family in Barbados.

Some have suggested that Sir Hugh Crocker of Exeter was marred to both Thomasine Mitchell and Elizabeth Colleton. This is nonsense. Hugh and Thomasine had their Samuel and Alice after the date of Sir Hugh Crocker's marriage to Elizabeth Colleton.

Thomas Crocker, immigrant to New London, Connecticut in 1658, is my 9th great-grandfather. We have conducted Y-DNA testing on my father and his Y-DNA is a perfect 67 marker match to the late genealogist, Albert R. Crocker. Albert descends from William the son of Thomas Crocker and Rachel Chappell and my father descends from Samuel the son of Thomas and Rachel. We know the Y-DNA of immigrant Thomas Crocker. It does not match that of the descendants of Deacon William Crocker of Barnstable, Massachusetts.

Please submitters, can we correct these errors on GINI? Others will copy and pass on these errors.
