Thomas Harvey, son of William Harvey (1614 - 1691) and Joane Hucker (b. poss. 1616, d. poss. 1683), was born 18 December 1641 at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; he died in 1728 at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Willis (1647 - 1719), daughter of Deacon John Willis (circa 1606 - 1692) and Elizabeth Hodgkins (circa 1617 - 1691), on 10 December 1679 at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.

Children listing for this Thomas Harvey and Elizabeth Willis will need to be reviewed also but first item of business should be to get the parents right first.

I will be glad to help but I am not familiar with working with Geni and need some guidance.

We're getting there!

But I think these notes belong to a different Thomas Harvey, and Elizabeth Willis is currently married to the wrong guy.

Using Patty Rose's genealogy as a guide:

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pattyrose/engel/g...

Thomas (of Amesbury), son of William (of Boston) & Martha Copp, married Sarah Rowell (of Salisbury)

Copying them here to move over soon to the right Thomas Harve:

'''Thomas Harvey''', son of William Harvey (1614 - 1691) and Joane Hucker (b. poss. 1616, d. poss. 1683), was born 18 December 1641 at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts; he died in 1728 at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Willis (1647 - 1719), daughter of Deacon John Willis (circa 1606 - 1692) and Elizabeth Hodgkins (circa 1617 - 1691), on 10 December 1679 at Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts.

Yes, the Patty Rose genealogy is correct for the William Harvey (-- 1658) who married Martha Copp.

The problem is that there were two William Harveys living in early Boston. The Thomas Harvey b. 1641 I am connected to is the son of William Harvey b. 1614 m. Joane Hucker , had 4 children b. in Boston (Abigail, Thomas, Experience, and Joseph); the family then moved to Taunton about 1646 where the last child, son Jonathan was b. in 1647. Any other children listed for this couple are in error. Thanks to you two for the good help. I'm a fish out of water here!

I believe you have it! Will wait for the revision and then look the line over closely for nit-picks.

Does not help that there was yet another Thomas Harvey of Boston & Taunton. :(.

A couple tricks for disambiguating.

- images (I have logos for New England towns stored here, they can be tagged to any profile: https://www.geni.com/projects/New-England-town-seals/28205

- in addition to the overview notes, upload documents, including well done studies such as Patty Rose, to the profiles.

- disambiguating with toponymic description in the display name, this has the added bonus of being historically & geographically accurate. And when an Amesbury man is married to a Bridgewater woman, my alarm bells go off, far more than dates. (maps make great disambiguation also, particularly if we can find original proprietor land lots, etc)
