Person talk:Mary Upton (10)

Wrong parents [3 May 2012]

I removed Mary from Family:William Upton and Lydia Burnap (1). Their daughter Mary's birth is recorded in Reading with a date in 1737, not 1741. The find a grave source cited doesn't give sources for any information provided that doesn't come from the gravestone, so it is not clear how much it can be trusted, but the 1741 date at least matches the age at death, while the 1737 date does not. This source does not identify Molly's parents, which begs the question, how do they know the birth date, but no such date is found in the vital records of Reading for any Mary or Molly Upton. Source:Vinton, John Adams. Upton Memorial, p. 479, says she perhaps is the daughter of John Upton of Lynn. "Perhaps" of course, merely means this is a guess with no evidence, but that she would fit into that family, as much as known about it, which is more than can be said about the above family. --Jrich 11:01, 3 May 2012 (EDT)
