I agree--if there is no proof, then don't post it unless it's as something clearly posted as a THEORY -- with no real proof. People keep putting this online as something true and documented--and as far as I can tell, it's just a story. Someone once told me "that putting something undocumented out there (in print or online) and then trying to get it stopped is like nailing Jell-0 to a tree". Some researchers don't really bother to check out documentation -- they just assume it's correct. Anyone who has worked with any of the genealogy societies (DAR, SAR, DRT, etc.), know they won't accept anything that doesn't meet their criteria as "real documentation".
