Can anyone help sort through the correct dates, locations, etc. on this family? I think we have time warping. Just go ahead and edit if you have the answers!

As a start:

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halsey_House_(Southampton,_New_York)_

The Halsey House is an historical house converted into a museum, in Southampton, New York. It was first built around 1648 by Thomas Halsey, a pioneer from Hertfordshire, England. Thomas's grandfather was the honorable William Halsey. William had the famed English country house The Golden Parsonage bestowed upon him by Henry VIII in the 16th century. It is here that Thomas Halsey's father was born, as well as Thomas Halsey himself.

In 1630 Thomas Halsey sailed to the new world and was an original settler of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (now greater Boston). In the 1640s he was one of the first Englishmen to travel and settle the eastern end of Long Island.[1] In 1648, Thomas Halsey built what stands today as the Halsey House, sometimes referred to as, "the Hollyhocks". He lived there with his wife, Phoebe Halsey, who bore him seven children, (a descendant of one child is William F. Halsey, also known as 'Bull' Halsey, he was a great Admiral of the Fleet (five-star) of World War II).

She, Phoebe, was scalped by Native Americans in 1649. ....

Ann Wheeler cannot be a child of this family based on birth dates & locations. Disconnected.

(The first five generations were recently proven to be the correct lineage of our immigrant Thomas Halsey, Sr., by the Halsey Family Association of Southampton, Long Island, NY.)
