Manson-1599 and Manson-508 are not ready to be merged because: This can be done but I believe fundamental errors in 508 that need resolving and I cannot change 508 without permission.

Biography says Son of Samuel Manson & Eleanor Rogers of Kittery which I believe to be correct, but you have Jane Tucker as the mother. Page 16 of the Portsmouth Race of Monsons, Munsons, has Samuel marrying Jane Tucker 31 May 1750 which is 2 months after Williams birth.
