Hi all,
I'm having a time continuity problem and I hope someone can help. The person in question is William Eldred. I have him born about 1790 in North Kingston, Rhode Island and died in 1870 in Whiteside, Illinois. His spouse was Mary Ella (b. 1792 in New York, d. 1860 in Whiteside, Illinois).
The problem is William's parents. I have them as Robert Eldred (b. about 1707, died 10 July 1758, born and died in North Kingston, Rhode Island) and Hannah Rathbun (born 22 March 1706 in New London, Connecticut and died 12 Feb 1764 in North Kingston, RI).
The problem is, if William's parents died in 1758 and 1764, how could he have been born in 1790? Does anyone know if these dates are wrong or if these is some other error here? Thanks!
