A Family Group Sample

Rather than embarrass some well-intentioned researcher who has placed a wacky family group sheet on-line, I will offer up a sample creation with some glaring errors:

Thomas Kirkwood [parents: James Kirkwood & Lucy Harper]
[b. 23 May 1678 Hampshire, England - d. 9 February 1723 Plymouth Co., Massachusetts]

m. 15 October 1701 Plymouth Co., Massachusetts

Sarah "Sally" MacDowell [parents: Ian MacDowell & Mary Iverson]
[b. 30 September 1681 Suffolk Co., Massachusetts - d. 22 January 1734 Plymouth Co., Massachusetts]

(all children born in Plymouth Co., MA)

[1] Ian Kirkwood [b. 12 August 1702]
[2] Sally Kirkwood [b. 6 May 1704]
[3] Lucy Ann Kirkwood [b. 17 December 1705]
[4] Ivan Kirkwood [b. 4 January 1706]
[5] Thomas Kirkwood Jr. [b. 26 February 1707]
[6] Amos Kirkwood [b. 10 February 1708]
[7] Mary Kirkwood [b. 4 November 1711]
[8] Harper Kirkwood [b. 28 June 1713]
[9] Sarah Kirkwood [b. 28 June 1713]
[10] Alvin Kirkwood [b. 2 April 1714]
[11] Lucy Kirkwood [b. 19 December 1714]
[12] Thomas Kirkwood [b. 20 March 1715]
[13] Mary Ann Kirkwood [b. 7 July 1718]
[14] Ian Robert Kirkwood [b. 11 September 1720]
[15] Marie Louise Kirkwood [25 October 1721]
[16] Ann Kirkwood [13 March 1722]
[17] James Kirkwood [29 April 1723]

Your assignment is to decide which kids could belong to Thomas and Sarah. Study dates closely, also look at the names. Tomorrow I will examine each child's fit into the family group.
