Doing my Homework

The last post was a list of things to do in New Family Search.  Here is the first one completed.

Solomon Gee Jr. LZPP-GVP is listed with two spouses, Martha Bingham and Mrs. Solomon Gee.  She has the wrong birth date to be a duplicate, but there is no one to match that I can find.
Solomon's Record MQRC-2DG is the only one who had Mrs. Solomon Gee listed with no children.   This has the correct birth dates and death dates for Solomon.  I combined the records and changed the name from Mrs. Solomon Gee to Martha Bingham.
She needs a death date and place. So I found one on Find a Grave and entered int into NFS.

Birth: (This may be the christening date) Aug. 15, 1741
Scotland
Windham County
Connecticut, USA
Death: Nov. 15, 1828
Marlow
Cheshire County
New Hampshire, USA
*
Married Solomon Gee (jr.) on 24 Dec 1758 in Lyme, New London Co., CT.

Martha is a direct descendant of Governor William Bradford, passenger on the Mayflower and the main crafter of the Mayflower Compact.

Burial:West End Cemetery
Marlow
Cheshire County
New Hampshire, USA



The birth date here is submitted by Anna Caroon one of Solomon's descendants. Photos of the grave markers are on this site the Record was added: Jan 13, 2011 
Find A Grave Memorial# 64154650

The record for Solomon and Martha is now correct as far as I can determine.
