Magna Carta Project
- Lydia (Humphrey) Ellis is NOT listed in Magna Carta Ancestry as a Gateway Ancestor (vol. I, pages xxiii-xxix), however most of her siblings are listed and Lydia married in America in 1685. The Humphrey Gateways are in a Richardson-documented trail to Magna Carta Surety Baron Saher de Quincy (vol. III, pages 279-281 OWEN) that has not yet been developed on WikiTree. The profiles in these trails are set out in the Magna Carta Trails section of Benjamin Humphrey's profile.
- Needs Development: This profile was just added as a Gateway Ancestor and needs development against the project's checklist to bring it up to current project standards. Thiessen-117 15:39, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

The profile gives Lydia's birthday 28 Mar 1659. The research notes provide birthdate 28 January 1659. Both dates are apparently based on the Chronicles-sourced marriage date of Lydia's parents and next child Daniel after Lydia. But Lydia's birthdates should be consistent.
The Clovercroft Chronicles (page 41) gives marriage details for Ellis Ellis and Lydia, "He [Ellis] married Lydia Humphrey, eldest child of Samuel and Elizabeth Humphrey, the 19th day of the Sixth month, 1685, at the house of William Howell, in Haverford." So, June 19, 1685 rather than August in the profile. The text in the bio gives June 19, 1685.

Thank you all for working in Wikitree!

There is a good explanation of this and the problems it can cause in this Guide from the Connecticut State Library https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/hg/colonialresearch/calendar
6th month, if that is what is in the marriage record, will almost certainly be August not June. I have added slightly to the bio.

SJ added the project box for the Penn Project in June, which is causing a database error since the project is not also a manager. I'll add the project rather than remove the project box, but that's an option (WikiTree guidelines say that if a project box is displayed, then the corresponding project needs to be a manager of the profile). Either way, you most certainly can stay as a profile manager.
Cheers, Liz
