Edward Larkin, (Puritan) - Source for parents

I metioned BEFORE, after Geni merged all of these genealogies before that they shouldn't have. I did not find s single ONE that was correct. People kept mixing up the ancestries of the two Edward Larkin....the one from Charlestown and the one from Newport.

I never found another one on Geni that matched my narratives. Hence why never merged.

Now it is a mess.

The house in that article belonged to DEACON John Larkin 1735.

Example:

Edward Larking (c. 1615 - c. 1652), English immigrant

John Larkin (1640 - 1678) m. Joanna Hale (1646 - 1694)

Edward Larkin (1668 - 1738) m. Mary Walker (1670 - 1734)

Samuel Larkin (1701 - 1784) m. Mary Hicks (1700 - 1751)

Dea. John Larkin (1735 - 1807) m. Ruth Kettell (1738 - 1816)

**

My direct line is

Mother Donna Rae Alvarado (maiden name Baker)

Gma Mabel Frances Larkins
Her father Ira S. Larkins, wife Cordelia A. Reynolds
His father Edgar J. Larkin, wife Lucretia Crawford
His father Pvt Ira Larkin, wife Jane Ostrander
His father Nehemiah Loring Larkin, wife Christiana/Christina Cutler
His father Edward Larkin, wife Sarah Loring
His father Edward L. Larkin, wife Lydia Hill ( then he had a second wife)
His father Edward Larkin Sr., wife Mary Walker
His father John Larkin, wife Johanna Hale
His father Edward the Puritan from England, wife Joanna/Joan Butler

If you can share your sources, that would help us resolve this problem.

Are you talking about the article I uploaded last night? Because there's no confusion about that point, so I'm unsure what your objection is. Nothing in Edward's profile has been changed based on it.

No ONE source is used. It took many hours of comparative research and trading extensively. Comparing dates, reading about Puritan history, etc. I listed in each narrative most of the sources used.

There WERE also Irish Puritans at that time, also. Do we know for CERTAIN that Edward Larkin was even ENGLISH?

The below was also found:

"...Pioneer Irish in New England Chapter XIII page 210 The first of the name recorded in Massachusetts was Edward Larkin, wheelmaker, who was admitted an inhabitant at Charlestown on May 30, 1638, and in that year he was the owner of lands and houses scituate within Charle-towne limites.Charlestown Land Records, in Boston Town Books, Vol. 3, p. 43.19..."

I also found in http://www.newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/before-famine-ships-iris...
that tracing the Puritans prior to Massachusetts Bay Colony is almost IMPOSSIBLE to do. Hence why nobody CAN find proof or a single "source".

Any Larkin genealogist that I have talked to, though, just cannot seem to find Edward Larkin as having been born in England. I am working with Karen Larkin, though. As much as I can.

It just takes LOTS of actual reading.my narratives are a start.

And yes, the article about Deacon John's house appears media tabs for other and older Larkin ancestries, so I was just clearing that up.

Sorry for typos. I see them after the fact.

Oh....and on MY ancestry pages that aren't changed by Geni, I attach as many things as I can under the "media" tab, not "sources".

And since zero sources HAVE been found by ANYBODY yet, is why 'I" stopped at Edward Larkin circa 1615. NOTHING can be found prior to that....and even HE was iffy to put together. Lots of speculation, though. I used his Will to ascertain his children.... again which I outline in my narrative how and why. BUT I did not put ALL of the children in the top part of the ancestry record. It was too iffy.

BUT MY original ancestry pages, except for my narratives disappeared for a few generations. Then they pick back up. So....those last few generations are all mixed up. 😊

It has been more of a process of elimination. Reading about Edward Larkin of Rhode Island, who IS easier to trace, and DEDUCT what has been found to pertain to HIM, not to Edward of Mass. Hence how I knew that so much was getting mixed up. Plus ...there were so MANY Edward Larkins that you had to pay EXTREMELY close attention to dates. Most people don't do that.

I will only "merge" another EXACT ancestry page. So far, almost ALL of them ate different! Just gotta compare closely!
