Nancy, Your post here does not show up on the thread on the message board so the author of this question will not see your answer as posted here unless he/she is a member of this list. Your response is a good response to the question - death certificates are the least likely of primary sources to be correct because of all the emotion and grief involved in the event. If you go to _http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.counties.r utland/339.2.1.2/mb.ashx_ (http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.counties.rutland/339.2.1.2/mb.ashx) and post your response there, maybe the person with the question will be more likely to see it.

The source probably had an accent. and he probably didn't write it down at the time and did it from memory. Ariel=Royal and Carlton= Holden. This works really well if the source of the data didn't pronounce the r's.
