Have source for daughter's birth date, need source for mother's death date to clear Data Based Error

Question

Source for daughter's birth date: "Genealogy of the Lake Family" [Staten Island Family] Ancestry source. {{FindAGrave|126366761|Sarah Elizabeth Brittian Vandergriff|2017 Mar 26}}

Nathaniel Brittain-547 married Ester Belleville-27. They had a daughter, Sarah Elizabeth (Britten-41), she was born 9 Apr 1732 This same date is mentioned in the "Genealogy of the Lake Family" And, in the FAG source. 

Problem is mother died before daughter was born, according to date of death on her profile, Ester, (Belleville-27) Brittain, born 1690, and died 1704, 

While researching the '310- Mother was dead before birth of child' error, the "Genealogy of the Lake Family" was found. Brittain, Lake, Stillwell, and other names are mentioned in this book. May not be the best source, but going with the 'any source is better than no source' rule, some may find this book interesting.

Back to my need for a death date for mother, Ester (Belleville-41), to clear my 310 error. Anyone have death date information for her?

Thank you!

Found: Baptism record for, Sara, daughter of Nathaniel Britton, by Esther Belleville Britton.

Confirms birth date of daughter.

Thank you, Eddie King!

The baptism is the image posted on the profiles.

Just Sara, no Elizabeth.

The Lake book says she married Henry Lane in 1759

https://archive.org/stream/genealogyoflakef00adam#page/21/

Find a Grave says she was married to Vandergriff at the time, and survived him by 39 years and died at 96.

Need a source for this marriage, or Sara and her mother are irrelevant.

Hi RJ Horace

Thank you, RJ, for your comment!

Data Based error '310- says Mother was dead before birth of child' 

The profile for Sarah Elizabeth (Britten-41) Vandergriff says, she was born 9 April 1732. We have established that her birth is correct with the baptism record. 

The sources we have say Nathaniel (Brittain-547) (1688-1760)  married Ester (Belleville-27) (1690=1704), and they had a daughter Sarah Elizabeth. So, they being the parents is fixed.  

With Ester's current date of death being 1704, she would have been dead 28 years before Sarah Elizabeth was born. 

To clear my 310 Data Based Error, I may need to write in comments, 'a thorough search was made, we need make a guess based on __?__?'

Thank you!

Look for an Esther Brittain who died about 1745

So far Sara's baptism record is the only source.

The existence and marriage of Nathaniel and Esther are deduced from it.  The dates are all made up, until proved otherwise.

Nathaniel's birthdate probably comes from another Nathaniel.  But there were at least 11 known Nathaniels and there's room for another generation.  If Sara's father was 44, he was old enough to be her grandfather.

The internet has "Judge" Nathaniel marrying Elizabeth Gerritson and the poor woman having kids over a 41-year period from 1688 to 1729.

Basically we've got Nathaniel b bef 1732 d aft 1732

marries

Esther b bef 1732 d aft 1732

and has Sara b 1732

who might have married Henry Lane but probably didn't marry Vandergriff.

Whoever died in 1828, if anybody, was probably a younger woman and if she was Jacob's widow she might have been a 2nd wife.  But we don't know if she was called Sara or Elizabeth.

In fact the 1688 birthdate seems to belong to the Nathaniel who joined the Militia, got 120 acres from his paw in 1723, and later went off to fight and never came back, leaving a widow Frances.

The Nathaniel who married Esther seems more likely to be the grandson who got 2 cows and 2 mares in 1729.  But that's only guessing.  Nobody knows who he was really.

Thanks, Eddie, and RJ! Appreciate your comments very much!

If you cannot find a more specific date you can list date of death as AFTER 9 Apr 1732  which is the daughter's birth date.  Then put a note in bio that you are still looking for a death date and based the date on daughter's birthdate

Thank you Laura Bozzay, appreciate your comment! I think, After 9 Apr 1732 is the best way to go to clear my 310!

My Best!
