Resource Notes

The current birth year for Bethany makes her only 15 when she has Bethana Brown, and therefore even younger when she marries Pardon Brown before that birth. But the birth documents from multiple sources clearly state her birth year being 1786 and her death record shows her date of death and years of age, which coincide with a 1786 birth year.

Additional information on the spelling of Bethany's surname can be found in her father's profile.
