Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

CONFLICT

Birth Date: This database uses between 2 Jun 1847 and 1 Jun 1848. The grave marker for J. Wesley and Isabel Garrett uses the explicit date 27 Sep 1848. I suspect the range (from a record when she was 12) is correct, and the explicit date (from a marker when she was 93) is mostly correct, but the year is off by one, for an actual date of 27 Sep 1847. [marker-j-wesley-isabel-garrett-1935-1941]

SPELLING

Given Name: This database uses Isabel. The 1860 US Census uses the spelling Isabell. [census-us-1860-ps-oh-noble-seneca-184]
