- ↑ Note that many of the ages in the census do not line up with the birthdates given in the History of Littleton. This might not be important, but having no marriage record, and missing birth records for some of the children, it does call into question the credibility of the only source for some of this data, namely the History of Littleton (liberally repeated or copied, in Wheeler's History of the Wheeler Family). Specific issues include: Celia's death given as 1852 versus gravestone saying 1854, Fanny's birth (important because it implies when the marriage occurred) given as 1827 versus nearly consistent use of 1829 by census and other records, Henry's birth given as 1829 when census and records appear to use 1831. Based on the fact that only Silas is covered further, the author probably talked to a descendant of Silas, and in particular, his coverage of children older than Silas appears questionable, and probably error-ridden.
