Please can we officially attach the children listed in notes - the link in notes goes to their profile BUT at least on Brokaw-156 his profile shows no parents. I've just today updated Christopher's baptism data and source.

That lunacy hearing appears,to have been in about 1835. If so, that's a later generation of the family, methinks.

Broucard-12 and Brokaw-287 appear to represent the same person because: The two abraham's are the same, with the only difference being the spelling of their last name.
