Claims
"William Poultney was my 3rd great-grandfather"
"My 2x great grandfather. William Poultney is likely to have been born Powney or Poney. He had an impediment of speech recorded in his convict records - which may have caused the confusion. He is not related to Thomas Poultney from Warwickshire."
