Need help merging Colonial Americans?

Private User - I traced down the stick tree on the right. It appears the user - inactive since May 10 - is trying to determine why his ancestor has the name Joseph Warren DeCamp.

From the Smart Matches for Joseph Warren DeCamp there appears to be info on Family Search. Without sources on Geni, I cannot be sure the new tree is correct.

Notes in the profile for Major General Dr. Joseph Warren, III explain the John DeCamp name, I think.

The research on my families relationship with Warren started with an obituary my mother found in her family Bible. Having posted the obituary on the various genealogy websites I received a quarry from a Harvard Professor who recently authored a book on the famous General. Warren's wife passed away while their children were young and the General hired a nanny who became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter approximately two weeks after the General was killed at the Battle of Breed's Hill. Expenses for the mother and child were paid for by the Warren Estate as was the custom back in that era. In the professor's research he shared a few letters that were written between the General's family and friends that indicate that the daughter was living with a few of Warren's other children.

My 4th. great grandfather James Stafford came to southwestern PA (i.e. Connellsville, Fayette County) and his wife was named Mary (i.e. the daughter of Warren & his nanny Sally Edwards). One of Warren's other daughters was named Mary as well. Once she became an adult she changed it to Polly. Warren's mother's name was Mary as well.

In the will for James Stafford it lists his grandson who was named "George Warren Stafford". He being the only person from that generation with a middle name.

Based off of all the research I have done along with my mom's and the Harvard professor, I am convinced that General Joseph Warren is my 5th. Great grandfather.

Or - could be a Gedcom file mixup with Colonel John DeCamp

So those trees match?

Erica Howton - But the Family Search profile for Joseph Warren DeCamp - https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/KLJB-XWL/joseph-warren-decamp... - leads back to a Job deCamp and not John.

I'm just not convinced on the DeCamp family above Joseph Warren DeCamp.

Suzan Martin - Merge reversal done. Please check.
Am I crazy or were they re-merged?

Karianne Fog Heen - good catch. I’m merging.

Deborah Ann TOWER

Resolved Abraham Crosthwait

Private User - Agreed that she matches, but the husbands do not. The one on the right is from a stalled GEDCOM that started in 2021. (Manager is offline since then. Grr!)

Cynthia Curtis, A183502, US7875087 - worked on Tabitha Owen origin family. I don’t have resources for her children.

From an import done recently, I have a pile of tree matches in the Washingtons - again.

Begins with https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000003918335756&src=profile&cmp=btn (Capt. Lawrence Washington)

There is also an abandoned stick-and-spouse tree with a fictitious connection to the Washingtons - Elizabeth Anne Kendall supposedly had Elizabeth Clements But the info for Anne Wright (MP) says she only had one child.

Emily Kent Marget - merging done. I couldn’t find a detach point on the new Washington tree.

Erica Howton - Elizabeth Anne Kendall (a new profile) supposedly has a daughter - Elizabeth Clements But Anne Wright (MP) states that she only had the one child, a son.

Thus, at a minimum, Elizabeth Anne Kendall should be disconnected from Elizabeth Clements

Elizabeth Clements Is not connected. Maybe you saw a momentary connection while I was undoing bad merges nearby?

Erica Howton - You did a whole lot of stuff with Elizabeth Clements and Elizabeth Anne Kendall

As for the duplicates caused by the import - try https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000000769872628&src=profile&cmp=btn (Reverend Lawrence Washington (MP) as the cut point.

Every profile above Capt. Lawrence Washington likely has (or had) a duplicate from the import.

My merge center still has these matches:
https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000009485731240&src=profile&cmp=btn (2 matches for Amphyllis Washington)
https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000000769872628&src=profile&cmp=btn (Reverend Lawrence Washington)
https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000007105237696&src=profile&cmp=btn (Lawrence Washington II)
https://www.geni.com/search/matches?id=6000000000351049678&src=profile&cmp=btn (Margaret Washington)

The user was not aware of the "tree build" that occurred in September 2012 of the Washingtons.

I’ll merge them. It’s only a few.

Erica Howton - Thanks.
