It has proven to be relatively accurate although Lemuel doesn't cite specific sources. Shattuck, Lucretia: b. April 6, 1815; m. Edmund Bearss, and has had, 1. Elizabeth; 2. Henrietta; 3. Edgar, (deceased;) 4. Mary Ellen: 5. Emma Frances. Joanna Curtis, who put that database together, also found the tombstone of Henrietta somewhere that gave her date of death and age. I wonder if we can assume Henrietta and Harriet are the same person? It seems like she could have been linked in error. > So the line goes: Harriet- Edmund- Josiah- David- Josiah- Josiah- Joseph- Austin > > I don't have much other information except that Mary Ellen, Emma, and Lena were > residing in Manistee, MI in 1924.
