Ages at death [1 June 2016]
How could Thomas Salmon, d. 1675, have a wife Elizabeth, d.1682 and a child b. 1663, then m. Mary and have Elizabeth b. 1673 ? Unless he divorced his 1st wife, this makes no sense. --SkippyG 21:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Either I screwed up the Savage content - or Savage has it screwed up somehow. I'll look a little closer and - if nothing else - revert it... --jrm03063 21:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- I was looking at the content for Thomas Salmon in Savage. This Thomas Salmon was already attached to Elizabeth - yet was also indicated as being killed in 1675. So that problem was already there. When I was looking at Savage, I figured that he was also discussing the Thomas Salmon who died in 1675, so I attached the content for the marriage w/Mary and the daughter Elizabeth. So it looks like two Thomas Salmon's got conflated in the GEDCOM uploaded by Kevtmiller in 2010. I'm going to cut this Thomas Salmon away from Family:Thomas Salmon and Elizabeth Unknown (1). That still leaves us where we were - trying to figure out if the familyf Thomas Salmon and Elizabeth - with John Salmon - makes any sense at all. --jrm03063 21:33, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- I guess it's possible that there were two Thomas Salmons killed in the hostilities of 1675...hmm... --jrm03063 21:34, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
As I read it, Savage is discussing one Thomas Salmon. I'll go ahead and add the other children. This is a sibling ROOT (Caleb, a 4 or 5gr uncle) line of mine; a few generations later is my direct ancestor, Salmon Root of Farmington/Southington/Plainville.--SkippyG 22:16, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
