I have been having trouble with this person. When I originally put him in my tree I had the following info in the About Me section for people to read:
"Source: U.S. and International Marriages Records, 1560-1900
Many files have Thomas Roberts & Frances James as the parents of Gov. Thomas Roberts; however, not according to the following source:
The New England Historical & Genealogical Register, Vol. 61 (1907), p. 166, provides an abstract of original records published by Rev. Dr. Everett S. Stackpole, a noted genealogist. He checked the original records of the Fishmonger's Company, London, and found Gov. Thomas Roberts's father to be John Roberts ... Not Thomas Roberts listed above. Refer also to The Colonial Era History of Dover, NH by John Scales, p. 302; Mackenzie's book, Colonial Families of the United States, Vol.2, p. 619; and the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine & New Hampshire by Noyes, p. 589. Thus - Gov. Thomas Roberts father was John Roberts (of Woolaston, England)."
Unfortunately most of the people who have merged into it have the wrong information., making him son of the Baronet Thomas Roberts. How do we make the correction now?
