Known Errors
Mary Matilda is not the daughter of William Robertson and Hanna Shoemaker. I am guilty of the genesis of this error. I had added it to my ancestry tree as speculation, but it was copied as fact and now appears on many trees. I have removed it from my tree and have attempted to nip the error but it continues to propagate.
