Sarah is named Sarah Eells in her father's will, so married (1) Edward North, and then (2) Samuel Eells, not John Green. --Jrich 23:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)


Defect 2

John, the son of the preceding was not mentioned in father's will of 1689, nor heirs of his. John of Woburn and wife Abigail had children before and after 1689 so different people. --Jrich 23:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)


Defect 3

On 12 Jun 1667 a Hannah Bateman married Zachariah Converse, not Zachariah Green. She d. 1 Jan 1679. She left two children who would have been alive in 1689. John Bateman's will left property to be divided among grandchildren but did not name them. It is not clear if Hannah was Zachariah's Converse's wife, but clearly given the previous two errors, there is room to have doubts. --Jrich 23:33, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
