Researchers are encouraged to reverify (and add source) information; making adjustments to profiles as necessary.
No original source records have been located to confirm birth or marriage records. It appears that some erroneous information may have been published, and perhaps republished/reported, making the “actual facts” obscure.

Underlying sources (land/Wills etc.,) (OR DNA) may prove or disprove connections. See individual profiles for ongoing updates.Edwards-7481 13:57, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Dean, If you're still working, look at two FindAGrave records for Jacob: 24236128 and 14420248. They differ in the cemetery that is listed. Do you know which is correct? Would be good to merge these records with the right cemetery. Thanks from Jane (connected to son Levi)
