Timelines & details — If Asa Spencer moved to Campton in 1770, why would you assume his children born before then were born in Campton? The birth records, created on 27 December 1905, list the birthplace of the children born after 1770 as Campton, but leave it blank for those born before. #genealogy

Private Asa Spencer, of the 3rd NH Reg, probably did not die in Saratoga, New York, on 7 March 1778. Following the facts instead of what others have written led to the truth. valleyforgemusterroll.org/soldier-deta... #genealogy

The Jennett project part 2 stalled. After walking away from it for 2 months, when I started writing again, the stories began to flow. Now it needs a trip to the public library to fill in some holes before being polished and published as my April Substack post. #genealogy yourfamilyquest.substack.com

Again thanks @genstack.bsky.social for the 31-day female ancestor challenge. I have work to do. On FamilySearch, the parents married abt 1853, but they are married on the 1850 census. On FS their son was born in 1854 which matches the gravestone, but early census records put his birth abt 1851.
