Person talk:Hannah Bemis (2)


death date [4 July 2014]

I removed the death date of "2 Jul 1731". I find that Source:Draper, Thomas Waln-Morgan. Bemis History and Genealogy : Being an Account, in Greater Part, of the Descendants of Joseph Bemis of Watertown, says Hannah b. 3 Dec 1705, d. 2 Jul 1731, and but then says that she has a son Samuel Bemis b. 18 Jun 1733, and m. (2) 23 Jul 1734 John Brown after her husband John Flagg is killed in an accident. Since the birth of Samuel, death of John Flagg, and marriage to John Brown are a matter of record, the death date is obviously wrong, and no obvious basis for this date meaning anything is known. Unfortunately people uncritically copy such stuff, and others copy them, and that is why Internet Genealogy is so broken. --Jrich 19:07, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
