Job Swinerton Salem
« on: Saturday 18 October 25 11:25 BST (UK) »
Hi ,
Family search shows me a descended family tree from Job Swinerton born 1701 Salem.
It gives a son James Swinerton born 1718 Salem married to Martha Battles born 1720.
I cannot find any reference to this birth of James to Job.
Can anyone help with documentation?

Thanks,
bswinno.

In Salem Vital records, the only James Swinerton I can find born at about that time is

James, s. James and Sarah, June 6, 1728.

Online trees at Family Search, Ancestry, and elsewhere are unreliable.

These are from Plymouth Vital records. James was apparently of Plymouth.

James SWINNERTON & Martha BATTLES both of Plymo. married at Plymouth July 17, 1744

Thanks Vance,
This obviously needs further looking at.
