Thank you for posting this detailed information. It matches well with what I have listed
here for Chamberlin Cemetery, from the same Internet source, but readers should be aware
that the data for Minerva, which says she died 5 Jan 1817, age 21 y 3 m 21 d, cannot be
correct. Cemetery data published in the Chamberlain Key, Vol. IX, No. 2, p. 48, instead
list Minerva's death, 5 Jan 1817, age 2 years, 3 months and 21 days. This would yield
a calculated birth date of about 15 Sep 1814, which is plausible considering that she was
the first child born to parents who were married, 29 March 1814, there in Scioto Co., OH.
Also, at least one genealogy has listed her birth date as 5 Jan 1814, which isn't
correct, either. I have corrected my records here, accordingly.
