Person talk:Jeffery Phinney (1)

Evidence for parents? [31 December 2019]

Is there any evidence that Jeffrey Finney/Phinney's parents are Robert and Lucy Wheeler, as listed here?

Clifford Stott searched the Lenton (and neighboring) parish registers and declared Jeffrey to be the earliest known ancestor, and the records themselves don't go back as far as 1515.

This particular bit of "information" crops up periodically, but has been deleted multiple times from FamilySearch, WikiTree, etc. due to lack of evidence and documentation.

I'm not going to delete the parentage yet, but if nobody can produce a reliable source, I will. Misinformation is far far worse than no information.--Bfinney 03:46, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
