HOWLAND, Slomon [sic], ch. George Jr. and Marcy [sic, she had died, clearly incorrect], [born] Sept. 25, 1779. HOWLAND, Solomon, s. George Jr., bp. Oct. 15, 1780, PR1 [Note: PR1=from diary of Rev. Roger Newton, DD, of Greenfield.]
↑ The 1870 census listing Solomon is dated 4 Aug 1870. The date given here, 2 Sep 1870, is found in several secondary sources online (e.g., "September%202,%201870%22 here) having no indication if there is any basis, or they have all just copied from each other. Indicative of the lack of apparent basis is the Find A Grave memorial under the name Salmon, giving a date 5 Sep 1870 but having no gravestone image. Credible sources are needed.
