Research Note on Lucretia's Deathplace

Electronic Communication received by this Profile's creator & manager from Dean Cleaver on 16 April 2024:

"This wiki page lists Lucretia (Parrott) Bright's death as having been in Michigan. She is one of my great-great-great grandmothers. I don't know where she died, but her tombstone is in Ebenezer Cemetery near Franklin, Indiana, where that part of my family is from. I have seen it with my own eyes. So, I think it is much more likely that she died in that area." - Albertus
