I have seen those records now what is their reference? When I see the reference such as" contributed by a trusted member of the latter day saints" red flags go up. I don't know what the RPDC is. I do know the NHRDC has given bad information , or conflicting information. I have never encountered that with the New Paltz RDC. Usually information I get from one source I collaborate with another source and that is the census usually. For example, one Cornelius Terwilliger, with the same children given, have two different spouses. One spouse in Maria Terwilliger and one is Mary Ann Wiklow. The parents of Cornelius are different as well. What do I believe? I go to the Census of 1850 where I have all the Terwilligers in that census. I find out that a 65 yr. old Cornelius is in their with a 63 yr. old wife Mary Ann. Two of the children he is supposed to have had live with him. At some time in their life both Cornelius and Solomon may have married a Maria (Mary) Terwilliger but see no corroboration.Who knows what happened?
