Person talk:Mehitable Crocker (1)

Wrong name or wrong family [24 February 2011]

I am removing this Mehitable with no dates from Family:Josiah Crocker and Melatiah Hinckley (1) to Family:Ebenezer Crocker and Hannah Hall (1). Josiah and Melatiah had a daughter named Melatiah, none named Mehitable, per the "Barnstable, Mass., Vital Records" in Source:Mayflower Descendant.

Josiah's son Ebenezer however had a daughter named Mehitable who m. Nathan Crocker.

The John Howland book cited on all these pages is only snippet view on books.google.com, but does not seem to return anything for either Melatiah or Mehitable Crocker, so I cannot get an idea of whether it actually places Mehitable in this family. But given that no dates are given on these pages for her and most of her family, I surmise the book mentions this family only in passing. It probably focuses on the Nathan Crocker who married Mehitable, he descended from Nathan Crocker who is descended from Eleazer Crocker and Ruth Chipman, she from John Chipman and Hope Howland, she from John Howland the subject of that book. So it would not be expected to focus on the full Crocker line. Consequently, I am discounting this source citation, and making the change mentioned above. --Jrich 10:59, 24 February 2011 (EST)
