Person talk:John Wheaton (4)


Changed the name [30 December 2010]

Originally, this record included the following citation from the Rehoboth VR (page 768):

1, 15: Wheaton, John, of Robert, b. April 20, 1650... below: In (1 R) the same is given except the first [john] for which is substituted the name Abigail and date Jan 20 1647.

However, the first name that the comment refers to is actually Obadiah (above John), with a birth date of Jan 20 1647. It would appear that the (1 R) record had Abigail for Obadiah. Since Obadiah was known to be a member of this family (mentioned in his father's will), and Abigail was not, it appears that the (1 R) record is in error.--DataAnalyst 12:03, 30 December 2010 (EST)
