    [Note: birth record has not found. Resolution of discrepancy with gravestone unknown. Could mean first child died and another born, but credibility of Temple is unknown (e.g., gives baptism for several child for whom birth records are well-known, but knows birthdates of children for whom no record has been found?) and death information sometimes misstates birth information.]
