Person talk:Ebenezer Locke (1)

birth date and parents are wrong [22 May 2012]

I removed the birth date of 1694-02-13 in Lexington,Middlesex,Massachusetts,USA. This birthdate belongs to the wife Elizabeth Poulter (Feb. 13, 1694/95 per Lexington VRs, p. 61) and does not match Ebenezer in either Lexington VRs, using the location specified on this page, or in Woburn Births, using the location where the supposed parents William and Abigail lived.

However I removed the parents Family:William Locke and Abigail Hayward (1) as well, since the birth of Ebenezer would before their marriage (Ebenezer married about 1716 since first child bap. 1717, so born by 1695 to be of legal age, and William didn't marry Abigail until 1698), and moved Ebenezer to the first wife of William: Family:William Locke and Sarah Whitmore (1).

Beside the difficulties finding confirming data in the vital records, my basic guide in making these changes is an article in Source:NEHGR, p. 141:226, which says Ebenezer is "probably an unrecorded son of William Locke, Jr., and his first wife, Sarah Whitmore". --Jrich 14:59, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
