Person talk:Edward Ketchum (8)

Does anyone know the source of the information quoted below (copied from Edward's Person page)? It identifies his second wife as Sarah Salmon, daughter of Christopher Salmon. I have found this identification in a number of amateur family trees, with no citation other than other amateur family trees. The quote below looks like it came from a book. Is it out-dated information no longer considered reliable, or recently researched info? Thanks

One Edward or Two? [27 April 2012]

Savage is under the impression there are two by the name of Edward (3:14) - but what appears here is one. Is there certainty about the single Edward interpretation? If so, I'll want to note the error in Savage and be able to indicate why this is believed. --jrm03063 10:37, 26 April 2012 (EDT)

I don't have time to completely check this out, but between Families of Old Fairfield 1:359 and TAG 30:2-4, it appears that Jacobus and Coddington think there was one Edward with two wives. You could check those sources and see what you think. Gotta run.--DataAnalyst 20:55, 26 April 2012 (EDT)
