Person talk:Mary Benjamin (16)

^{Citation needed} [21 April 2011]

There are no sources supporting the identification of Mary, the wife of Barnabas Wines, as Mary Benjamin. There is no information on this page identifying anything about Mary that wouldn't equally well apply to any other Mary who married Barnabas Wines: no parents are given, the birth date is estimated from death date (i.e., post-marriage) and the applicability of that death date is dependent on her being the husband of Barnabas Wines. That there is considerable controversy over Barnabas' wife being Mary Mapes suggests to me that there is no evidence about who he married, and that this is somebody's assumption passed off as fact. None of the sources I have found (and added to the Family page) identify Mary's surname. Sources are needed. --Jrich 11:32, 21 April 2011 (EDT)
