    3. WRG In reviewing the Barbour Collection of Connecticut Vital Records for Plainfield,CT I find the following: Elisabeth, d, William & Margret, b. 12 Aug 1719 1:27 Previously I have found this same individual in the Groton, MA VRs and this is the location also noted in the databases of Jeanne Muse and Allan Green as well as in the WRG archives "Descendants of William-3 Whitney" of Robert Ward all with reference to the Groton VRs. I find that her brother Caleb was born in Plainfield,CT 10 Sep 1721. Allan and Robert also have this date and location noted. Which raises the question...Was she born in Groton or in Plainfield? Or does this mean that the William who resided in Groton and the William who resided in CT (first Killingly, then Plainfield) are 2 different people who just happened to marry women named Margaret and have daughters they named Elizabeth, who were born on the same day? Robert raises the question as to whether there are 2 different Williams, but the circumstances are highly unlikely that all else would be equal. Has anyone researched this family further and determined if we are indeed looking at 2 different families or if one of the VRs was added after the fact? This isn't my direct line but I still would like to have the correct information in my personal database, and we want it correct on the website as well. Thoughts? Jo Hogle
