There are a few mistakes in the first two generations, but not serious ones.

Note: the marriages of these four *are* on record, but not their births. As for Deborah and Asa, the second Deb implies that the first died in infancy, so the second one married Nate Rideout. Asa seems to have published an intentionn to marry Lydia White in Pittston in 1794. It would be worth digging into the probate records (if any) to see who Nathaniel's heirs were.
