Classification: Query
Surnames: Acton
I think that I have discovered a mistake that I made. In trying to put this family together, I think that I should not have included Joshua. I just realized that with the info I have he would have married at the age of 8 to a woman 20 years older than he. There must be either two people combined or the birth date should be much earlier which would eliminate him from this family.
