Robert Seers (1657-1732), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Seers-92 ; Warning 572: FindAGrave - Linked grave not matching profile

Note--Tucked on a "see also" source is the comment that "Others of the surname buried there are …" Profile has other sources to support his death.
Resolution: Have removed all FindAGrave references; inserted them as reply to a profile comment.

Elizabeth (Pearce) Presson (1738-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pearce-12164 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location

Humm ... Profile has a Research Note concerning a death information conflict related to a FindAGrave memorial.
- Death and Burial. It is believed that brothers Jonathan Presson and John Presson, both of Beverly, married women named Elizabeth. FindAGrave attributes a particular death to the wife of John Presson/Preston. See Elizabeth Harris Preston (1738-1806), memorial 50360105 and gravestone image; web content, FindAGrave, reports burial at Central Cemetery, Beverly; memorial managed by V. Nareen Lake; gravestone image added by Thomas F Scully.
- This attribution is quite likely in error--
  - John's wife, Elizabeth Harris, is more likely the child baptized Marblehead, 1733 (so born before that date). Assuming she survived as his widow, John's wife may have been Elizabeth Preston who died in Beverly 13 May 1805, age 78 years (suggesting born 1727).
  - Jonathan's wife, Elizabeth Pierce, is presumed the child born in Beverly, 11 July 1738. Her date of birth compares favorably to the Beverly death reported in FindAGrave memorial 50360105. (The Beverly published death report cites the gravestone, with death as 22 June 1806, "a. 68 y.," thus born about 1738.)
Resolution: Moved the FindAGrave citation to a profile comment, then reworded the Research Note to link to the profile comment.

Elizabeth (Pearce) Presson (1738-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pearce-12164 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location See above.

Heyltje (Van Dyke) Horton (1755-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Dyke-1791 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date

Note: She has a probate file that I haven't seen; wasn't able to readily access, so I'm just not working on this profile right now. Have already collaborated to see that she became connected to spouse and parents. Have otherwise done a ton of work on that line. See Henry Beach Horton Ancestry Notes https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Henry_Beach_Horton_Ancestry_Notes
Resolution: moved the FindAGrave references on that profile (for her, and for her husband) to a profile comment.

Olive (Gage) Herbert (1767-1835), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Gage-3871 Warning 579: FindAGrave - Missing birth location

Problem: Two secondary sources have different dates of birth reported.
Resolution: Added research note, sans link, and moved all the FindAGrave memorial citations and/or links to a profile comment.

Mehitable (Preston) Benson (1768-aft.1829), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Preston-401 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location ; Error 578: FindAGrave - Different death date

Humm... Profile included a research note ("FindAGrave Lead") that refers to the memorial. My work followed the Bartley article (cited as my source). This reports she married (2) Peter Benson. The article has no further continuing information. The FindAGrave memorial displays no gravestone, but reports her death 3 June 1845 in Schuyler Falls, Clinton County, New York; the claim is unsourced.
Resolution: Will move the memorial reference to a profile comment, then reword the research note to refer to the comment. Done.

George Blosser (1778-1852), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Blosser-158 Error 578: FindAGrave - Different death date

This work was done before 2015. It looks like I was helping someone who was trying to correct a problem with the profile of his wife. I wasn't able to find quickly discover that I have a family connection to the profile, so have removed myself from his trusted list. Ditto, removed myself from his wife's trusted list, Rebecca (Garrison) Blosser (1783-1859).

Rachel (Roller) Firestone (1783-abt.1870), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Roller-633 Error 577: FindAGrave - Imprecise death date

Problem. That's not the biggest problem with this profile. It is an adopted profile that was filled with Gedcom junk and span tag reference notes. We have made some updates to the profile … but there were many. For this line, we have been following the work of George Ely Russell. Worked already to update the profile of her husband. They had 12 children and quite a few memorials were referenced in the child list on her husband's profile. Working to move those references (from his profile) to a family group free space page.
Setting up free space page for Firestone-Roller family group, and moving FindAGrave references to that page. Some update work needs to be done on those citations. When that is complete, will also add the citations to a profile comment, then will update the reference notes to refer to the free space page and profile comment. When the free space page and comment are complete, will then update Rachel's profile. Done.

Adolph Schmachtenberger (1789-1859), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schmachtenberger-3 Warning 579: FindAGrave - Missing birth location

Problem: FindAGrave has questionable information that is unsourced; the data there is in conflict with other sources.

Resolved: Added research note addressing conflict; moved FindAGrave links to profile comment.

Esther (Preston) Sexton (1792-abt.1834), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Preston-8328 Warning 572: FindAGrave - Linked grave not matching profile Problem: There are no gravestone images; the burials come from a local record. She is "Mrs. Saxton" in the burial record (and his burial record had the surname as "Saxton"), so her profile cited the memorials for both Esther and her husband.

Resolution. I AM the FindAGrave memorial manager for both Esther and her husband, Earl. Updated the profile details and moved the FindAGrave links to profile comments.

Daniel F. Firestone (abt.1796-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Firestone-315 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Problem: No tombstone image. For his birth, I cite a family bible; for his death, I cite his probate.

Resolution: Now False. Moved FindAGrave references to profile comment.

Enos Westover (1816-bef.1906), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Westover-873 Error 578: FindAGrave - Different death date Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Now False. Moved ALL the FindAGrave references to profile comment

Susanna Firestone (1818-1894), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Firestone-326 Error 577: FindAGrave - Imprecise death date

Problem: Gravestone does not report details.

Resolution: Now false. Moved the FindAGrave references to profile comment.

Mary Ann (Kimberling) Westover (1818-1899), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kimberling-300 Error 577: FindAGrave - Imprecise death date Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Problem: Gravestone does not provide the specifics on the memorial.

Resolution: Now false. Moved all FindAGrave memorial specifics to profile comments.

Edward Robie Preston (1822-1873), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Preston-10429 Error 578: FindAGrave - Different death date Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Joseph Henry Christy (1827-1908), https://plus.wikitree.com/function/WTStatus/Status.htm?ErrID=592&UserID1=34017429&UserID2=17740520 Hint 592: FindAGrave - Possible mother Hint 591: FindAGrave - Possible father

Resolution: Marked as false. I have nothing to do with Joseph Henry Christy.

Resolution: Now false to me. Moved FindAGrave reference to profile comment; removed myself from trusted list.

Sarah (Wiggin) Herbert (abt.1777-1851), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Wiggin-621 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

John Kellerman (abt.1782-1844), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kellerman-480 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: FindAGrave has an image; they may have calculated the date of birth, but no birth appears on tombstone. I often only use calculated dates as approximations.

George Raymond (abt.1782-1868), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Raymond-3920 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Moved the FindAGrave link to a profile comment.

Dorothea (Kimmerling) Kellerman (abt.1785-1869), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kimmerling-13 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Porter E. Williams (1867-1932), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Williams-95584 Hint 591: FindAGrave - Possible father …

Resolution: False to me. I have nothing to do with Porter E. Williams.

Anthony McLaughlin (abt.1794-1866), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=McLaughlin-8828 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution. False. FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date, but that date is otherwise unsourced; WikiTree is using the 1850 census.

Margaret (Kellerman) Croner (abt.1816-1892), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Kellerman-481 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; WikiTree is using census. They report Somerset, Pennsylvania as her birth, but my research didn't report the parents there.

Mary Ann (Kellerman) Keyser (abt.1823-1904), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kellerman-482 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; WikiTree is doesn't try to be so specific as that data is frequently in error.

Nancy Beatta (Butler) Preston (abt.1830-1861), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Butler-31976 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; profile on WikiTree isn't trying to be so specific as that data is frequently in error.

Catherine Beach (1835-1839), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Beach-2007 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; profile on WikiTree isn't trying to be so specific as that data is frequently in error.

Amanda Jane Webster (1836-1912), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Webster-16970&errcode=saved Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; WikiTree is using Illinois Death Index. FindAGrave has erroneous birth location.

William McLaughlin (abt.1837-1851), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McLaughlin-8772 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Possible FindAGrave might be using a specific calculated date; profile on WikiTree isn't trying to be so specific as that data is frequently in error.

Martha A. (Gaddis) Firestone (1837-1896), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gaddis-659 Hint 591: FindAGrave - Possible father Hint 592: FindAGrave - Possible mother

Resolution. False. Parents already attached.

John Perky Rummel (1838-1926), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rummel-311

Hint 592: FindAGrave - Possible mother Resolution. False. I have nothing to do with John Perky Rummel

Amanda (Westover) Emfield (abt.1840-), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Westover-878&errcode=saved Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Error? FindAGrave - Different birth date Warning FindAGrave - Missing death location

John K. Westover (abt.1841-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Westover-879 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date

Resolution: FindAGrave does not show his tombstone and the dates are otherwise unsourced. Moved FindAGrave to profile comment.

Elis Winfield Westover (abt.1847-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Westover-881 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Sarah (West) Haughton (abt.1784-1856), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=West-30846 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: FindAGrave reports she died in 1856 and has tombstone inscription as "age 72." If she died in 1856, age 72, then she was born about 1784.

Elijah B. Minard (abt.1807-1874), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Minard-382 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution, WikiTree cites his Vermont death record; tombstone says he died in 1874 at age 67-- so he was born about 1807.

Judy Ann (Firestone) Perkey (1815-1849), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Firestone-340 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. WikiTree is citing a family bible for her birth; no idea where the FindAGrave date originates.

Benjamin Franklin Schmachtenberger (1815-1895), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schmachtenberger-12 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: FindAGrave may be using a date calculator, because there is no known record of Benjamin's birth. He died 15 August 1895, aged 79 years, 1 month, 15 days, so born about 1816.

Margaret (Cline) McLaughlin (abt.1818-1889), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cline-7108 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False because--possible FindAGrave has used a date calculator, but WikiTree's born about 1818 is accurate. As yet, no record of her birth is known.

Abigail Silver (Preston) Harriman (1820-1887), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Preston-10428 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: NHVR has 6 March 1820; tombstone has 6 March 1821--both dates are discussed in the narrative.
Note: Despite that a free space page (2014) is dedicated to the conflict. , In 2018, a well meaning soul "corrected" his birth data by adding information from FindAGrave, including Salem birth location, See Benjamin Ashby's Conflicted FindAGrave record. Chase Ashley caught the date update in 2020, and I removed the reference to Salem in 2024.

Hester (Kemberling) Hart (abt.1824-1873), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kemberling-32 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False. WikiTree considers, among other items, court filings regarding her guardianship in setting her date of birth. Rachel (McLaughlin) Porter (abt.1824-1887), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=McLaughlin-8814 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

False. FindAGrave may have used a date calculator, but memorial says she died 1887 at age 63 …; which is about 1824 birth; WikiTree cites the 1880 census which also suggests she was born about 1824.

Elizabeth (Stewart) Kemmerling (abt.1825-bef.1890), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Stewart-57434 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: False. No gravestone photograph; FindAGrave data is unsourced.

Elizabeth (Phelps) Sexton (abt.1834-1905), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Phelps-8876 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False. FindAGrave data is unsourced.

Sarah Adelia (Hitchcock) Webster (1837-1911), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Hitchcock-5277 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. Just a conflict; WikiTree cites the 1900 census.

Henry Hoyt Eastman (1840-1926), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Eastman-3892 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False. We are citing his NHVR (Death) which reports his date of birth as "Year: 1840. Month 2, 27." FindAGrave data field has his birth as 2 Feb 1839, but the tombstone clearly states 1840. All this was noted in Research Notes.

Alma H. (Webster) Hall (abt.1842-1900), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Webster-16972 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: False. FindAGrave date is in error--she was age 8 in the 1850 census and age 18 at 1860; she was probably born in about 1842.

Henry Alfred Kemberling (1842-1931), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kemberling-5 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False. This is just a conflict between two published accounts; both sources are cited for the different dates of birth in the WikiTree narrative.

David Todd McLaughlin (abt.1843-1864), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McLaughlin-8775 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: False. FindAGrave data is unsourced; WikiTree data is sourced.

Rebecca Firestone (abt.1848-abt.1860). https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Firestone-356 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution. False. Possible FindAGrave has used a date calculator; WikiTree cites the 1850 census. No birth record is known to exist.

Elizabeth McLaughlin (abt.1848-1909), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McLaughlin-8778 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: Removed myself from profile.

Anna Mary (Gibson) Miller (abt.1848-1914), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29248 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: False. Gravestone has 1846, but she was age 2 in the 1850 census, and born December 1848 in the 1900 census; Anna Mary was probably born about 1848.

William Gibson (abt.1850-1925), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29249 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Corrected.

Ellen (Westover) White (abt.1851-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Westover-882 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location

Resolution: No gravestone image; FindAGrave data is unsourced.

Mary Alice (Kellerman) Goodrich (abt.1851-1914), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kellerman-388 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False to me; removed myself from the profile.

Sarah (Gibson) Miller (1852-1921), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29250 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. Corrected.

Eliza (Westover) Gerhart (abt.1854-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Westover-883 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Added 1924 death; but no sources on memorial for other facts.

Clara (Westover) Rodkey (1857-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Westover-884 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution. FindAGrave reports her birth as 8 November 1857, but the undated obituary clipping on FindAGrave reports 8 March 1857; tombstone has 1857 which is consistent with the 1860 census.

FindAGrave has undated obituary clipping reports she lived at a street address, but does not name the city, nor does it name the paper.

FindAGrave obituary reports her death "Saturday evening" but the clipping is undated. Samuel T. Shaw (1857-1932), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Shaw-29793&errcode=saved Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date Resolution: FindAGrave details are unsourced.

Matilda (Gibson) Confer (1857-1927), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Gibson-29252&errcode=saved Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: No gravestone image; FindAGrave data is all unsourced.

>>>>William Henry Kemberlin (1858-1920), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kemberlin-1 Error 577: FindAGrave - Imprecise death date

Resolution. False. Gravestone reports year of death; no source for other FindAGrave details.

John Austin Harpster (abt.1860-1887), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Harpster-285 Error 577: FindAGrave - Imprecise death date

Resolution. Gravestone has only year of death; no other source reported.

Margaret Shoenfelt (1860-1932), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Shoenfelt-31 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: False. Gravestone image gives only year of birth

Alma Webster (Hall) Powell (abt.1869-1930), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hall-73164 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution: Alma was a celebrity, and reports of her age/date of birth varied considerably. Gravestone image on FindAGrave is about her husband's first wife. There is no photograph there now about Alma.

Ella (Kemmerling) Rollins (abt.1861-1912), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kemmerling-148 Error 578: FindAGrave - Different death date

Resolution. Corrected.

George Benton McClellan Claar (1862-1903), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Claar-299 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution: False. We are using the 1900 census for his birth. Absolutely no idea how FindAGrave arrives at a it's "1 December 1858" birth date--gravestone image reports his lifespan, "1861-1903"; wife as "1866-1947." No other sources provided on FindAGrave.

Julia Harriet (Gibson) Fishel (abt.1863-1938), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29255 Error 575: FindAGrave - Different birth date

Resolution. False. FindAGrave displays a gravestone image with her lifespan as "1873-1938," but at 1870 she was age 7, and age 17 at 1880. Ala, she was probably born earlier than the gravestone suggests.

Ellen E. (Bancroft) Smith (1866-1947), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bancroft-2620 Error 574: FindAGrave - Imprecise birth date

Resolution. There are two FindAGrave memorials for her. This one has obituary that reports her death 2 September 1866.

Arthur H. Hall (abt.1871-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hall-73176 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date

Resolution: False. This frustrates me. I included a research note, "Who is this ..." and referenced a memorial -- so the system generates a WARNING!

Delbert Clinton McNiel (1876-1947), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McNiel-115 Hint 591: FindAGrave - Possible father

Resolution: False to me. I have nothing to to with McNiel-115

Samuel Boorman (1877-1948), https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Boorman-691 Warning 581: FindAGrave - Missing death location

Resolution: False. There is no gravestone image or any other source provided on FindAGrave. The memorial claim that he died in "USA" is unsourced or unproven.

Samuel Gibson (1820-1891), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29043 Hint 587: FindAGrave - Link to nonexisting Grave ID … And then it proceeds to report IDs 12600460, 51445123, 12600445, 12715916, 37237360, 9868544, 12600465, 12715871, 143680051, 51445187, 59868544, 98571838

Sarah (McLaughlin) Borton (abt.1842-1928), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/McLaughlin-8774 Hint 586: FindAGrave - Link to merged Grave ID … and then lists 114953634, 9419087, 181933703, 114953630

Resolution: Both of the merged memorials were cited on the profile in Research Notes. The duplicate memorials were noted in Research Notes. The merged memorial on FindAGrave links to the surviving memorial.

Matilda (Gibson) Confer (1857-1927), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gibson-29252 Hint 587: FindAGrave - Link to nonexisting Grave, and then lists 143680051, 9868544, 59868544, 98571838, 99346058, 99346288

Resolution: False. All of the memorials link to proper memorials.

Heyltje (Van Dyke) Horton (1755-), https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Dyke-1791 Warning 576: FindAGrave - Empty death date

Resolution: Reported as False. FindAGrave reports she died 25 September 1831, but then reports transcription with death as 26 September 1831. I'm still trying to access her probate record.

Subsequent Items/Notes

April 2024
- Ebenezer Haughton Sr. (1699-), Haughton-447. Despite that his profile was materially updated in February 2022 to include both a statement, "The details of his death are unknown" and an extended research note reporting his death had been confused by that of his grandson of the same name, the profile of Haughton-447 was edited to first add an unsourced cemetery category, "Godfrey Hill Cemetery, Hebron, Connecticut" and then shortly to add further unsourced death information in the data field saying he "died 1814 at about age 114 in Hebron, Tolland County, Connecticut." The latter edit confused him with the FindAGrave reported death of his son of the same name, whose FindAGrave memorial apparently sources its data only to an eroded, unreadable gravestone image. Resolution--Updated the narrative and research have moved all FindAGrave links to a profile comment
