We show Bartholomew's first wife as a Bainbridge (Jane Green) while the Connecticut State Library contends she was a Banbury (Jane Green).

Our citation on the Bainbridge profile is a FamilyTreeMaker export with no citations of its own. That FTM export also can't seem to decide Banbury vs. Bainbridge on its own profile for Jane.

Before I merge these wives and resolve conflicts, does anyone with knowledge of these lines want to weigh in? I'm trying to build down from here, so I don't know the sources in this area.

Thanks!

(Side note: I'm removing the birthplace of Wethersfield, Connecticut from Bartholomew's profile since that can't possibly be correct.)

Samuel Green had 16 children. 22 of his descendants (including 3 sons) and his wife's brother became printers and newspaper publishers. He married 1st-Jane Banbury, daughter of Guy and Justice Banbury and 2nd-Sarah Clark, daughter of Jonas Clark on 23 Feb 1662 in Cambridge MA. He died 1 Jan 1702[7]

from The Green Family-Early CT Newspaper Publishers @ CT State Library site.

The parents first names are the same - Guy & Justice, I think this was a newspaper missprint, :)

Seriously, we often enough see variants like this, and we have the AKA field. Obviously the CT Library source is the better to use,

I'm in complete agreement, of course, but wanted to give the community a chance to weigh in before unilaterally changing anything.

We have Jane Bainbridge connected to a Bainbridge tree going back further, so we have to determine if they're all supposed to be Banburys, or if we just need to use the AKA field, or if we've connected her to the wrong family. The source for the Bainbridges is a GEDCOM.

Donald Lines Jacobus endorses both names. Good enough for me.
