All 8 reviews »There are inaccuracies in this book, particularly with the Colburn family. They list Thomas (born 1674) as a son of Edward Colburn who died 1700.
1) Edward Sr. had an Edward Jr. not mentioned as a son
2) Edward Sr. had a son named Thomas, but he was born in 1648, not in 1674.
3) Thomas born in 1648, had a son named Thomas born in 1674...
While there may be some accuracy, it will definitely throw everything off if you attempt to use this as your information...
