Hello All, Does anyone out there have ANY information regarding the true name and spelling of Phebe Gross - daughter of Lydia (Hinckley) and Simon Gross. I have seen it listed as Phebe Gross, Phoebe Gross, Phoebe Perkins, Phoebe Perkins Gross, Phoebe Gross Perkins, Phoebe Gorse, Phoebe Gorse Perkins, Phoebe Perkins Gorse, etc. She is a descendant of Stephen Hopkins through Constance, Mary Snow, Thomas Paine, Lydia Paine, Lydia Hinckley. I also want to make sure I have her b,m,d dates accurate. And if she did indeed marry William LaMont, Sr. I'm relatively new to genealogy, and applying for membership to the General Society of Mayflower Descendants. If anyone has any advice I would love to have it. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

Hi Jennifer, I am afraid that I cannot help you with Phebe Gross, except to say that this problem is common in genealogy. In that day and age, spelling was all over the map on every imaginable name. There is no 'correct' way to spell anything! Just copy the records as you find them. The identifying factors are place, age, and the presence of collateral family members. Check every imaginable spelling for any name you come to if you are going to be successful finding records. Good luck!
