Elizabeth and Rebecca are sisters and had more siblings
How do we reconcile dates of birth and death. The Findagrave record doesn't mention Ketner and, while it lists seven children, it omits Rebecca, who would evidently have been the first born -- an odd child to omit. Can you shed any light on that? I seem to have misplaced any references to the dates I recorded, unfortunately.
The find a grave list some but not all of their 13-15 children, named in census records 1850, 1860,1870. https://gw.geneanet.org/conroyj?lang=en&p=henry&n=ottinger
