Your edits on Arbella
Hello. Please stop adding people who couldn't possibly have been aboard the Arbella; the ship sailed from England in 1630, while the Joseph Reed you added, grandfather of Joseph Reed (politician), according to reliable sources was born in Ireland in 1650, a full twenty years after the Arbella set sail for North America, and thus couldn't possibly have been aboard the ship. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and we go only by what reliable published sources say, not by "family tradition", since "family tradition" has been proved to be a very unreliable source. Thank you. - Tom &#124; Thomas.W talk 08:32, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
