      All confused
      Justinian's tree is all confused right now.

      Justinian, the brother of Richard Holden, was ID #K8VR-TVR b 1611 d 1691
      His children are:
      Samuel, John, Issac, Mary, Grace, Joseph and Elizabeth

      This Justinian, son of Richard is ID #MX6Q-JN9 b 1644 d 1699
      1st wife named Mary (unknown last name), 2nd wife Susannah Dutton
      His children with Mary are:
      Marah (Mary), James, Daniel, Ebenezer
      His child with Susannah is also named Susannah

      Right now this line is all messed up.
      I will make my tree in American Ancestors and abandon this one since it keeps being changed and attributing children to Uncle Justinian.
