Jonathan & John Briggs, Taunton & Berkley

A few corrections:

Jonathan of Taunton married Experience, but there is no evidence she was from the Harvey family. This was a poorly conceived guess made many years ago and has since been repeated.

His son John wasn't born on 13 Feb. 1673. This is the birth date of John, son of Richard Briggs of Taunton. The switch was made probably first in an LDS familysearch database and the error has been repeated countless times. Also, John, son of Jonathan, married Abigail, but there is no credible evidence that she was from the Packard family. This was another poorly researched guess that has become "fact" from repetition.
