https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/54270393/isaac-mayfield says

His first wife, and mother of all of his children, was Mary Ann "Mollie" Banks. After she died, Isaac married the widow of a cousin (John Mayfield), Mary "Polly" (Woolf) Mayfield, abt 28 July 1830, in Pulaski Co., KY. Polly remained in KY when Isaac moved to IN.

I don't what the sources are but some family trees have Isaac and Mary having 16 children. Are you questioning the number of children because of what is listed on Find a Grave?

Hi, Jacklyn Yvonne Lawrence
Not necessarily. I just disconnected a child to merge with a duplicate that belonged elsewhere and noticed the FAG said two wives but something was off at first sight and I didn't mean to do research on the line because I am working in another area today.

Hopefully there are no issues and the child I merged for elsewhere was just a tagalong that got caught up

Consistency Check:The age of Serelda Sally Phillips (Mayfield) exceeds 105 years.Mary "Polly" Mayfield (Woolf) contains an alias in her first name.Jennie Mayfield born after the death of her mother Jane Jean Baxter.George Daniel Mayfield born after the death of his mother Jane Jean Baxter.Nancy Mayfield born after the death of her mother Jane Jean Baxter.Isaac Mayfield, Jr. born after the death of his mother Jane Jean Baxter.John Mayfield born after the death of his mother Jane Jean Baxter.Susanna Parks (Mayfield) born after the death of her mother Jane Jean Baxter.William Mayfield born after the death of his mother Jane Jean Baxter.

For me, I was only concerned up until George W Mayfield. It is obvious the dates are off if all those children were born after Jane Jean Baxter Mayfield died. Some additional work needs done.

With the little research on Ancestry that I have done this morning, other family trees have Jean Jane Baxter Mayfield dying in 1795. Another tree has her marrying Isaac around 1764 which is after her so called death in 1763. So, if those who created this profile can check the dates perhaps this can be resolved.

Jacklyn Yvonne Lawrence is this one who you mean:George B. Mayfield

Ok. Found it. William D is actually William Isaac and someone made a profile for William Isaac where he is Geni married to his own mother.
Let me work on it since no one else has been able to get to it.

Not his mother but someone of similar najme--- he has four wives per the FAG memorial. Someone gave him a duplicate with a fifth wife with a Gedcom upload

Thanks. I meant that I only had information regarding George W Mayfield and his descendants. Thanks for working on this. It seems to be a tangled web.

I updated their names--- I think the FAG memorials have some confusion that has added to the profiles getting messed up.

MUCH BETTER!

Removed death date of mother because she could not have died at age 16'ish unless there is another wife/mother not yet showing.

Will continue to ask for assistance in getting these sourced--- is there a will?
Found several Germanna connections and was bale to connect them with those researched KNOWN such and such... and profile for Serelda says she lived to be 107 (I have an ancestral auntie that absolutely lived to be over 105 so yes, I believe it).
This is what remains of the Consistency Check alert now:

Consistency Check: Birth date of John Wesley Mayfield, Sr. and his sister Elizabeth Cundiff (Mayfield) are within 8 months.

10/29/2021 at 4:17 PM

FAG shows John and John Wesley as siblings so may need to flesh them out to see if that is true...
John Wesley Mayfield, Sr.
Elizabeth Cundiff
Will need closer examination.
Anyone game to pick it up? :)
