OK, debunk ahead. :)

Nothing about Joseph’s parents.

Family tree snapshot. Unacceptable. We should only cite family trees when they have (preferably primary) sources accepted. And the “ancestry records” aggregate is a computer generated “pull” from Family trees. The overview at FamilySearch is similar but at least labels itself “computer generated.”

Family tree snapshot. Same.

Don’t ever even look at the Shawnee Heritage books, they have been thoroughly revealed as largely fictional genealogy. See https://www.geni.com/projects/Shawnee-Heritage-Fraud/4495143

And that page specifically leads to Nicketti Hughes, Person of legend

http://evmedia.com/johnprice/ Is a register report which shows it’s source, and therefore, quite a useful object.

ANCESTORS & DESCENDANTS OF JOHN PRICE
Vina Chandler Price
Gateway Press, 1988
website produced by Allen Lee Price

So, we need to examine that source and understand their argument for a son who was not named in Daniel Price’s will.

But - should take that to a spin off discussion.

You have a lovely ship stuck to your geni face.

Private User - I de-mastered one of them.

Prudence Atwood - parents unknown.

Don’t merge, let’s seen what’s going on.

OK, I first emptied out the duplicate “about” from the demastered profile so it doesn’t corrupt the MP, and added who her parents are not to the top of of the MP. Same for duplicate Malachiel Atwood (second husband).

And detached duplicate Prudence from not her parents.

I think he's been messed up for a long time. He couldn't have been married to both of his wives.

DAR record indicates there were two men with the same name in the same unit, so I'm thinking they have been confused.

Was the MP on the left vandalized? It seems this merge will put everything back together.

https://www.geni.com/discussions/185015?msg=1652710 - weird. Cornelius Ellis, Sr. Did not seem to have been vandalized, yet vitals were not showing; I reverted them. Good match, merging now.

https://www.geni.com/discussions/185015?msg=1652712 - good match. Updated “about” first, then merged.

Private User - re https://www.geni.com/discussions/185015?msg=1653180

Not a match, wrong generations. Rejected.
