What source do you have for her maiden name of Claiborne? It appears that there is an existing profile for her - Agnes https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-26006 (with daughter Agnes who married Gregory: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/West-438 - an apparent duplicate of https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/West-7749 ).

Ruth, you haven’t stated what you can add or the sources you will use

This automaticly added this question it isn't what I wanted to ask.

I added this profile but I am not allowed to it said after it saved it.

I have applied for pre 1700 but don't quality due to one thing. I need to have experience which I cannot get if I can't enter profiles pre 1700.

Thanks for any info on this as I have several pre's in my family tree.

Hi Ruth,

You can edit your original question and add the sources and the info that you'd like to add, which can help us point you to an appropriate project to coordinate with, if applicable. The pre-1700 profiles have more stringent edit requirements to ensure that we're following any applicable project guidelines and also appropriately sourcing any information that we add to those profiles.

Part of the problem is that you added the profile, but no sources, which is going to raise a red flag to pre-1700 profiles
