1600s in Yorkshire, England to the early 1900s in North Carolina. These
documents were replete with errors.
These documents described dozens of people, their dates of birth, their place of
birth, marriage data, death data, etc. And all of them have the same names as
distant FOY relatives of our own.
You ask, “Well, what is the problem?”
The problem is, factually speaking, that record in Yorkshire, England is a not
an authentic record. It was a record created in 1992 some three hundred years
later than the event it allegedly reported and was created to document
someone’s theory of what happened in the 1600s in order to complete a religious
record.
I contacted the individual who, in fact, recorded that information in the IGI at
Yorkshire and asked her where she got her information regarding FRANCIS
FOY and SERINA MILES being married in England. Where do you suppose?
That’s right. She got it from the “best theory” information we have already
discussed; it consists of undocumented ideas by someone who could not find
records to substantiate their theory so they made one up.
I had a physic’s professor once in college that told the class the best example he
could think of which fit the definition of perpetual motion is a self-sucking cow.
Think on that a while.
Like that cow we went full circle in our search for fact.... from a theory that
FRANCIS FOY married SERINA MILES in Yorkshire, England and came to
America..... to an official record of such a marriage of those two people in official
records in Yorkshire, England..... to the fact that the information contained in
that official record actually came from the theory we started with in the
beginning and was put there as part of a religious practice that requires
documentation of claims.
Such is the life of one seeking facts about his family and their past.
