The Fall 2023 NEHGR has an article by Randy West on William Freeborn, entitled "William1 Freeborn of Roxbury and

Boston, Massachusetts, and Portsmouth, Rhode Island: An Update". This Mary was his first wife, and she was buried Oct 11, 1629 at St. Mary, Maldon, Essex. He remarried about a month and a half later, to Mary Perk[in?]. The second Mary died May 3, 1670 at Portsmouth. Here is a link to the issue with the article (see pages 395-98): https://www.americanancestors.org/sites/default/files/2024-03/register-177-4-fall-2023-entire.pdf

Created 2nd wife Mary Perkine for William Freeborn. Would someone please disconnect children Freeborn-1 (Sarah) and Freeborn-10 (Gideon) from this Mary and connect them to William's second wife Perkine-2 . Thanks

Thank you Chris. I have moved the children to their correct mother.

Should the project box & ppp be removed, or the Project added as PM?

Is there a source for birth in Ipswich, Suffolk, England? Looks like her origins are unknown and birthplace should just be England? Any objections?

Boomar detached as father. Some cleanup done. This profile's sources could use some love and attention. FaG is listed multiple times, none of which use the current format. And there is a lot of bad ancestry stuff like the Millennium file. Seeking a volunteer to take this on. Thanks.

I'm in agreement that William Boomar should likely be removed as her father-her son Gideon married a woman named Mary Boomer, so that's probably the source of the name appearing. Mary's surname was Willson/Wilson.

Smith-32867 Jillaine Smith
Hall-805 and Wilson-12964 appear to represent the same person because: Correct maiden name per Anderson is Wilson, not Hall.

The father on this profile -William Boomar - requires research but likely should be removed.

Disconnected Mary, Sarah, and Gideon from Mary Hall -attached to correct mother Mary Wilson. Removed son named John Thomas - no evidence of other children.

Anderson - GM: II: p. 574-5 William Freeborn had only one wife - Mary Wilson, and she is the mother of Mary, Sarah and Gideon.

Mary Hall should probably be changed to LNAB Wilson and merged into Mary Wilson here. (subscription) https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/great-migration-immigrants-to-new-england-1634-1635-volume-ii-c-f/image?pageName=574&volumeId=7373&rId=22175359

She should be the mother of William's three children shown as the children of Mary Hall-all three were born after her 1625 marriage to William Freeborn.

Appears to be the same as Hall-805, but there may be a 2nd marriage for Mary (either to a Mr. Wilson or to a Mr. Hall).
