Frances (Randolph) Halbert - Disputed Origins

I still don’t follow lol but I’ll take it one profile at a time.

The thing to note is an attempt by people to make someone a descendant of Pocahontas. And that genealogy does not look valid.

Frances Halbert Was not the wife of Colonel John Dandridge, II who is probably most notable as father of Martha (Dandridge) Washington, 1st First Lady of the United States

So now we have one woman, called Elizabeth, Frances, and / or Elizabeth Frances, “of” Essex County (not Henrico) in 1740, when as a widow Jones she’s marrying Joel I. Halbert, Sr

Colonel Richard Randolph, 'of Curles' & Jane Randolph who married about 1723, did not have a daughter Frances, at least no one by that name in their wills. They did have a daughter Elizabeth - Elizabeth Meade

So something is wrong with this reference:

Historical Southern Families Vol IX. “Halbert of Essex, Virginia.” Page 194-5. < AncestrySharing >

The comments is profile include:

For clarification:

• Frances Jones was Frances Randolph's name during her first marriage
• Frances Randolph was widowed
• Frances Halbert was Frances Randolph's name after her second marriage.
• The Frances Jones Halbert who married Ambrose Blackburn II is her daughter.

So far I am inclined to consider “Frances” as the same person as her (current) daughter, Frances Halbert

I would love someone else’s thoughts on this before proceeding.

Private User - I know you have not particularly commented on attempts at becoming a Pocahontas descendants, but doesn’t this kind of look like that to you? I note the Boddie pedigree comes from the Halberts, and not the Randolph’s, who didn’t need to jump up their origins.

And perhaps this is how Frances, wife of Joel Halbert, turned into an Elizabeth Frances Randolph:

Comments: Joel Halbert was not born in Wales. His wife “Elizabeth” was a widow Jones, and her name is seen as “Frances” on a land deed in 1747.
