When working on my first lineage book, I ran across the line of Solomon Paine. The trail I followed led back to the Mayflower. However, when attempting to get verification from The Mayflower Society, I was told they didn’t have a record of the marriage I claimed so he’s a different Solomon Paine. I couldn’t find evidence of there being a second man by that name in the same locations. But they persisted - if it isn’t in their book, it isn’t accepted. But it leaves some questions about which of us is right.
