Research note · 30 Sep 2026
AUDITED 30 Sep 2026 - MARY ALLEN'S PARENTS ARE UNKNOWN. A mother named 'Joanna Newell' (born 2 Sep 1707 at Canaveal, Santa Marinha, Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal) came in with an early import and was REMOVED from this tree 30 Sep 2026 (round-8 triage, ruling A5, Owen). Nothing stood behind her: no citation in this database by any route; on the published Ancestry tree her only 'source' was 'Ancestry Family Trees', a copy of another member's tree; the compiled Latané accounts that give Mary Allen as John Latané's wife name no parent of hers (agent-report-551-joanna-newell-2026-09-30.md); and WikiTree's profile of John Latané (Latané-33, read 30 Sep 2026) gives her only as 'Mary Allen', with no parents.
DO NOT RE-ADD JOANNA NEWELL from a hint or a member tree, and do not accept hints naming 'Guilherme (William) Newell' or 'Mary Joan DE Bus (Van Boos) Tyson'. Her own 1765/1767 death question (read 10 Aug 2026) is separate and still open.
