A plea to those who perpetuate bad limbs on their family trees

There are many in the genealogy world who copy erroneous information to their family trees, picking the rotten limbs off other trees and passing them on and on. This blog is created in a hope of helping to end some of this. It does no one any good to pass on misinformation and blatantly fraudulent branches on your tree. Put some effort into your work and produce a tree your family can be proud of, accurate and reliable.

George Pace/Sarah Maycock, Jamestown VA 1600s

Virtually all the trees I see has Sarah Maycock, wife of George Pace, as the daughter of Samuel Maycock.
However, in the book "The Cradle of the Republic: Jamestown & James River" this was found:
A deed by Richard Pace, Powell's Creek, son & heir apparent of George Pace, son & heire as the first issue by my mother Mrs. Sarah Maycocke, wife unto my aforesaid father, both dec'd, confirm the sale of wight or nine hundred acres lying near unto Pierce's hundred als. flower due Hundred to Thomas Derew as per bill of his father October 12, 1650.
Sarah Maycock was the WIFE of Samuel Maycock, not the daughter. Several sources found on Google Books, out of print sources make Sarah Samuel's widow and not his daughter.
