"Its called rounding it down using repetitive logic based on facts."
No need to be a smart ass. What I'm asking for is your source material concerning the inn owned by Sophie's father. Such documentation would greatly assist us in piecing together this puzzle.
Source material that James was an Quaker and an innkeeper is in Garoutte History Book from 1975 third edition. There is a source for it there I have to look later.
Repetitive logic is a scientific method for logic and statements in maths and logic. Like true and false statements.
For genealogy you examine legal documents like a birth certificate to deduce where the person was born, what day month and year who the parents are on the record what doctor delivered and declared, nurses and all details of the event. The document obviously is proof the child belonged the parents named on the document or if the names are misspelled on the document it can be cleared up with other legal documents with the correct names to make it consistent. Then the parents birth certificates prove who their parents are. So if you go to court to prove the claim you come from President George Washington for example you show them your birth certificate that proves who your parents are and you show them your parents birth certificates that shows dads dad name is George Washington born on x day, month year and where. That proves your grandpa is President George Washington for example.
The secondary sources from published materials are obviously based on some legal documents not all are listed as sources so you have to figure it out by getting the original document to prove the statement as true.
Thats why real authentic genealogy and history is such hard work and takes a long time. It takes a lot of examination of authentic and certified documentation and reasoning taking into account of historical facts to be sure it is consistent and logical and true.
sometimes you can figure out things way ahead before gathering additional facts just because all the statements are true.
A doctor of history showed me how. He also showed me how full of shit numerous so called academic histories are that made it into history books. Because there is no proof to prove the statements. He showed me how they basically just make shit up 60 percent of the time.
