Comments

There is an Ancestry.com Millenium File marriage record that Joseph Cunningham's wife is Phoebe Wilson, the daughter of Jehu Wilson and Sarah Chalmers. As of 22 Sept 2013, Geni profile managers agree that

" it's more likely somebody just had the name Phoebe Cunningham, and Ancestry, or something, found Phoebe Wilson as a possible match based on date of birth or something, then it kept getting replicated until it became a "fact"."
