Hi R-Gang Cousins, I've been working on updating my database and have received some new information on the Peabody line. This new information shows Lydia Peabody (who married Thomas Howlett) as the daughter of Francis Peabody and his first wife, Lydia. Now, the information I had previously showed her the daughter of Francis Peabody and his second wife, Mary Foster. I've been doing some checking on the Internet and find lots of conflicting dates for daughter Lydia's birth: 30 Aug 1640 1644 30 Aug 1649 1654 and various dates for Francis' marriage to Mary Foster: 18 May 1642 18 May 1654 and various dates for Francis' marriage to Lydia: 1638 1648 Since daughter Lydia is the ancestor of Increase Rudd, I'd like to get this straightened out. Can anyone help? Thanks a bunch! Celia
