    3. From - Mike Disbrow, listowner I want to thank Adrienne Boaz for sending along the information on her website and her Disbrow lineage. It's been way too long since anyone has shared anything in this mailing group. I do want to (humbly) submit a couple of corrections to Adrienne's data, however. 1) She gives Thomas Disbrow (Sr.)'s birthdate as 1652. Actually, unless I've missed someone's startling new discovery, we have never been able to get a handle on Thomas' origins with any certainty. The 1652 date is one I've seen passed around quite a lot, and it originated with a Disbrow researcher many years ago, who made an "educated guess" of Thomas' birth year, based on other known dates. Unfortunately her "conjectured" birth year was picked up by many Disbrow genealogists and passed along as "fact", which it is not. 2) As I made clear in my book on the descendants of Thomas Disbrow (Part 1, pp 147-148), the link between Daniel W. Disbrow and Andrew-4 Disbrow has never been proved, at least to my knowledge. There should definitely be a big question mark, and the word POSSIBLE between that link, as in "Daniel W., POSSIBLE son of Andrew". Now if I'm wrong and if someone has actually found that missing proof, I do hope they will pass it along to me and the others here who would be very interested (Doris Lobe take note!). I don't want to discourage others from putting their information out to this mailing list, but I've always been a stickler for accuracy on these things. I'm all for including "possible" and "probable" data, but it should be labeled clearly as such. Mike
