In yet another mind-boggling error, Allred, p. 134, decides that the 1801 marriage of Elizabeth Stearns and Nathan Hastings is the daughter marrying Nathan Jr. even though Nathan Jr. is technically too young to marry, and the Nathan Sr.'s wife died in 1800 so a remarriage would be expected for him. In fact, it is Nathan Sr. marrying the widow of Simeon Stearns. The probate file of Simeon shows that his widow is "Elizabeth late widow of s'd Deceased (now Elizabeth Hastings)" on 6 Apr 1802, and the daughter is still called Elizabeth Stearns on 10 Apr 1802 when the real estate is divided. This makes it pretty obvious who married Nathan Hastings in 1801 and who didn't.
