Should Benjamin Woodworth-308 be removed as the husband of Hannah Damon-129? [closed]

Two comments have been added to Hannah Damon's profile, indicating that she was not the wife of Benjamin Woodworth-308 and should be detached from him. A search of the available records shows that some early researchers incorrectly concluded that Benjamin's wife, named only as Hannah ____, might have been Hannah Damon, the daughter of John Damon and Martha Howland. But a closer look shows that Hannah ____ and Benjamin Woodworth were having children during the time that Hannah Damon was actually married to John May. More recent researchers are clear that they were definitely two different women. Does anyone object to my removing Benjamin Woodworth-308 and his children from this profile for Hannah Damon? I plan to create a new profile for her as Hannah Unknown, then connect Benjamin and his children to her new profile.

Glad you found and helped untangle this which appears to have been going on for some time.
That sounds like a good plan, Kay. Thank you.
Thanks much for 'untangling' and clarifying!

Hey, Benjamin is supposed to be a 7th great grandfather of mine and your analysis of the relationships sounds well thought out to me.  Make the changes and, if you don't already have it in mind,  include a research note on Benjamin's profile to give others something to consider before trying to reconnect them.  Thanks for your work on this!
