I have assumed management of Deborah Sargent and added her husband, Thomas Waite. Are my changes OK?

Deborah Sargent already existed, but was not being managed. I have volunteered. I added a profile for her husband, Thomas Waite (Waite-3584) based on a record of their marriage in the Malden Town records from the 1600s. Is this acceptable?

Deborah Sargent is a great-grand-daughter of John Howland, thru Lydia Chipman, and Hope Howland.

It looks good as a starting point, Robert. I would suggest including Thomas' specific dates of birth and death to the bio, the latter of which is available in the Waite source.  I'll post a comment to the profile about his parents which are also shown in that book. We also like to have a list of children in the parent's profile (in this case Deborah's would be best since she is the Mayflower descendant), with a bit of information, such as birth date, if it is available. Information is in the Waite book, but it should be verified through Mayflower sources, if possible, and the appropriate Mayflower 5th Generation sources shown on Deborah's profile.
