IMPORTANT NOTE RE CONFLICTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE UNION OF WILLIAM CROMARTIE and RUHAMAH DOANE BEING MY DIRECT ANCESTOR AS PARENTS OF THANKFUL CROMARTIE:

World Family Tree, Ancestors of Andrew Ferguson Johnson and others received from the Phipps family (over 20 years ago) shows William Cromartie & Ruhamah Doane as the parents of (Annie Cromartie and) Thankful Cromartie.
However, the records of Donna Johnson (bounty@charlotte.infi.net), which is a more complete and extensive record (sent in response to my response to a post on World Family Tree), gives the William Cromarite that is married to Ruhamah Doane as the son of William Cromartie of Scotland and as the sibling of Ann E. Cromartie and of Thankful Cromartie that is married to Alexander Hendry. Because this latter record is more complete with dates and many siblings, and because the dates pertaining to all the children of William Cromartie of Scotland are chronologically sequenced as one would expect, pending documentation otherwise, the records giving William as the sibling of Thankful and not her ancestor will be accepted as accurate.
These two Johnson records are clearly referring to the same people, despite the variances.
