Needs sorting again. Too many Ruth's I think, but do not want to touch. Also tree matches showing up and not going to touch with a 10 foot pole.

I think it is time to fix and MP Thomas. Maybe this will fix the conflicts in the children if the parents are straightened. If I can help, I will. I am just not sure what to do.

Easy merge actually but I am having trouble with Sarah Newton as his daughter. References in profile. Her marriage location makes parents very plausible but why isn’t she listed at https://gravesfa.org/gen083.htm,?

I have to wonder if it isn't because she moved South. It is interesting too that son Joseph married two Newton girls. There was a migration about that time of several families in my lines from New England to North Carolina. I have never been sure of the appeal except there was more land available and maybe they just wanted warmer weather.

The reference has “all his children born at Lynn.” But Sarah of “Thomas and Ruth” is not at Vital Records of Lynn - Births along with his other children:

And Thomas Graves didn't mention a daughter Sarah in his will, despite the fact that he died before Sarah did.

She’s a widow Graves or from another Graves family. I disconnected her from parents.

OK. Will disconnect on other platforms.
