Elizabeth Maria (Spaulding) Churchill (1814 - 1903)

Question

The date of birth on family search is august 10, 1810. However her death record on family search is showing birth as February 13, 1814. Also is LNAB Spaulding or Spalding? Also was she married in Sterling or Morristown? The news clip shows a husband Norman Spaulding? We know her husband was Norman Churchill per death record. Maybe a typo?

Need help reviewing the sources for accuracy.

Thank you Wikitree family

Note: does she have a FindAGrave source?

Answer 1

The date on the FamilySearch family tree does not include a source.  That date, August 10, 1810, is doubtful because Callista Spaulding, a sibling of Eliza, was born on July 26, 1810, making the purported birth of Eliza two weeks later doubtful.

"Vermont Births and Christenings, 1765-1908", database, FamilySearch(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F822-68C : 16 December 2019), Callista Spaulding, 1810.

Thank you this makes sense and solves the birth date 

Answer 2

As far as the last name at that time it could be either spelling both are correct.
