WikiTree profile: Benjamin Carman

There are a number of problems with the profile. 

The Seaman genealogy p 24 (https://archive.org/details/seamanfamilyinam00seam/page/24/mode/1up) includes handwritten corrections about Hannah and her husband which may or may not be correct. Note it also says she married John Carman and had one son, and that a different unnamed daughter married Caleb Carman. No children listed.

John Seaman's will is several pages later in the Seaman genealogy and should be reviewed for what it says about his children. It's several pages long. 

Here's the page where the will names the daughters:

It sheds no light on which Carman Hannah married.

Talk about getting started early on a new family!! However, I am noticing that there is a half sibling, from the same mother, with the same name. This will need someone to bring some extra research, but a merge should probably be considered.
