Greeting: In adding a dependable source & link could not help but notice date of death and place of death could use a review using all possible sources. The latest source 'Old Burying Ground' and Find a Grave have different information but I did no additional looking ? cheers

Atwood-1845 and Atwood-1154 appear to represent the same person because: I think these two are actually different women, but they have the same birth date-place. but they have different spouses and death dates. Something needs attending to...
