Where the Sources Disagree

• marriage year (to James Harvey Currey) — 13 December 1866 (Chapter 7 child listing (line 812)) · 13 December 1861 (Chapter 7 collateral section (line 906)) — the chronicle uses 13 December 1861.

  1861 is consistent with the couple's first child being born January 1866.
