QUESTION 1: What’s the rationale for his birth showing circa 1590?
Maintaining it suggests he was about age 55 when Susannah was born. It’s possibly but not plausible.
SUGGESTION: Though I think Andrew was born between 1610 and 1618—with Susannah’s estimated birth year in mind—removing an estimated birth year is another idea.
QUESTION 2: From where did birth in Thurshelton, Devonshire, England come to this profile?
Without historical documentation proving his town of birth, one may merely conjecture where in England he was born. Yes, there were Newcombs living and dying in Devonshire, and some were named Andrew.
