The family search is incorrect. Abraham did not live in Nottingham, Chester County. He lived in Strasburg in Lancaster County.

Yeah... that is what family search has...

but Family Search has his daughter, Elizabeth born in Nottingham.

Jim Wile, you might want to weigh in on this, as we co-manage the Elizabeth Feree that Diana is referring to.

I think Elizabeth is with the right parents, but her birth and death information is wrong. Also, her husband Isaac had his correct wife disconnected and I don't think this Elizabeth is his wife.

This is the wife who was disconnected from Isaac - Elizabeth Ferree and she has a duplicate, but I didn't want to do any merging until other aspects are resolved. Elizabeth Ferree

Identified as Elizabeth (unknown) with no parents. Don’t give her any, and I’ll change profile name to conform with the experts.

Private User, I don't think it is that clear. There are three Lancaster Mennonite Vital Records that show he married Elizabeth Lefever. Isaac is from Strasburg/Paradise area as is Elizabeth Lefever. He is a registered gun craftsman as well as his son Jacob. Jacob was born in Paradise in 1750. Lancaster Mennonite Records indicate his mother was Elizabeth Lefever.
On the other hand, I do not see clear evidence where Elizabeth Forbush was born - North Carolina, Maryland, or Chester County, PA. She is associated with Isaac Feree because it is known that she was married to a "Free" before she married Jones. However, I do not see a marriage record that says it was Isaac. Isaac is probably suspect #1 in family trees because he died in North Carolina and was married to an Elizabeth. The Find a grave says they (Isaac and Elizabeth Forbush) were married in 1748 (c) in Virginia (probably). However, Isaac was a craftsman in and had a son in Lancaster County in 1750.
There are some family trees that avoid the conundrum by having Isaac married to both Elizabeth's.

Jim Wile, thanks for responding. I had kept the discussion tab open while I looked around and didn't refresh it before I responded, which is how I ended up tagging you, because I didn't realize you were already engaged in the discussion. :)
