Did they say what they thought was wrong?  Or give any indication of what was wrong? (Besides not providing proof.)
It looks like you've got two different people. The person represented on the profile (b1833) could not be the person reflected on the 1831 marriage record listed at the bottom of the profile.

Your sources are not good. The marriage is in 1831. You have her birth year as 1833

Other family trees and find a grave are not sources.

First, her name wasn't Seletia Leah Wheeler, but seems to be Celeta Margaret, and she married a Phillip Miller, as she and her husband are living with her son in 1900 census, .  She is listed as Margaret..

Found no marriage record

she and Phillip are living with her Father Simeon Wheeler in 1870 census and her age is 37.

BTW, I think this her Father, murdered in 1874
