These should all be taken with a grain of salt, since they were self-submitted (or in many cases "descendant-submitted") biographies. Sometimes the facts were unknown and supposed; sometimes they were incorrectly entered by the typesetter (who was reading from hand-written material). They are helpful for pointing a direction in which to look, but they should not be taken as gospel.
