The process of making revisions to this profile has left Mary Rogers, my 10th great-grandmother, being married and born twice. I understand that it is time to merge, it would be helpful if those who have made revisions could please include your reference source so others can find and confirm the record as we try to connect to the world tree. I've been adding many names to my tree, and not providing the source of my information... which I now regret... because I have reached a point on Geni, such as this profile, where it would be helpful to myself and to others... to make sure we have the same person and not similar people.

Thank you very much for pointing this out.

If you don't include the source data -- a linking site -- it is impossible to evaluate the quality of the data.

For Colonial America I have found it wildly variable: from the absolutely accurate to the incredibly mythic.

We have enough problems with similar names, dates and places!

I question that she was born in Wales since her father immigrated from England to Virginia. Her husband immigrated from Wales to Virginia. Her About section notes state she was born in Surry County, Virginia, which makes more sense.
