Research Notes

An incorrect spouse is listed see Warning: Check the data. A parent (Long-2540 born 1688) should not have been born more than 170 years before one of their children died (Long-2553 died 1 Feb 1864) . This would mean that even if the parent gave birth at 70, the child lived to be over 100. A parent's death date (Long-2540 died 1 Sep 1734) should not be more than 120 years before one of their children died (Long-2553 died 1 Feb 1864) . This would mean the child lived to be over 120. A death date (Long-2540 died 1 Sep 1734) should not be before a spouse's birth date (Litton-175 born 21 Apr 1792) .
