I’ve got Richard Head b. ~ 1609 in England and d. ~ 1660 in England. I’ve got him married to Elizabeth Merrick b. ~ 1613 in England and d. ~1650 in England. However, I’ve got their son Henry b. in RI in 1647.

So my question is:

How did Henry come to be born in RI when I can find no data on either of his parents travelling to the Colonies?

I can think of only three options:

1. Mom and Dad made a trip to the Colonies at some point then returned to England; however, I seriously doubt that Elizabeth would’ve given birth in RI then would have gone back to England leaving her baby behind

2. There’s some serious issues with the data that’s available

3. I’ve messed-up somewhere in the family line

Has anyone else come across this issue and, if so, have you resolved it using the historical record?

Thank you very much.
