Note from Carissa Hill

Hi! I was reading his profile and I am confused about his wives. They are completely different than the ones he actually has in Geni. I have no idea where to begin to investigate or fix.

This is resolved.

Older genealogies showed Marie ‘Mary’ Burnham as a Tuthill. We had updated the tree with her correct details, but not the “about,”. That is now complete.

Surname Lawrence, not Tuttle

Some genealogies say that the maiden name of Mary/Marie, the daughter of Joanna Tuttle and wife of Thomas Burnham of Ipswich, was Tuttle, based no doubt on her mother's last name in Ipswich records. However, the passenger list of the ship on which Mary and her mother immigrated lists her name as "Marie Lawrence" and thus clearly establishes that Mary's maiden name was Lawrence and not Tuttle.[5][6]
