I do not know if it is correct, but it works for me. It does not work for me. Your previous post said Moses Williams Simmons and you now say William Moses Simmons, but my comment would be the same for both. You should be extremely suspicions of trees for people in the 1500s which show people with middle names. Middle names just did not happen back then. Unless the WorldConnect files give sources for the names of William Moses Simmons and Lydia Ann Holland, I'd put question marks by them when you use them or pass them on to someone else. For resources, Robert Charles Anderson's "The Great Migration Begins" and "The following Great Migration books are a current resource which, along with the Silver Books, would be the sources I'd trust the most. >I have 9 children for John Simmons and Mercy Peabody and 5 children for >Moses Simmons and Patience Barstow. Does this agree with your records? Those numbers do agree with what I have. I have looked at the History of Bridgewater which Lois mentions. (Others of my family lived in that area, too). >History of Bridgewater by Nahum Mitchell, online book transcribed on website >created by Cathy Joy Lasselle (CJ) McNew. >Revised and maintained since 26-Aug-2002 by Dale H.

"Born abt 1639, Married abt 1644). I have the marriage (source, again, TGMB) as "abt 1664". Margaret
