Absolutely....... Just look at all the DAR memberships that were revoked years ago because of misinformation. Nothing can ever truly be perfectly documented I don't think and there is always room for corrections and people have to be open to those corrections and the possibility that the line you've always thought you had just went down the toilet with one new document.

But anyway, are you a believer now? The account settlement (division of slaves), clearly shows that John the Elder was NOT DEAD at this time, despite what Newman Hall wrote in the Mayflower Magazine. As I've written here many times before, he'd be the first to admit an error and be glad to know of it. Unfortunately, as we all know, once things get "in print" they become immutable facts, especially coming from a prestigious magazine like the Mayflower Society. But, mistakes do and will happen.
