I am really interested in this couple as listed in the previous post on
Silas MARSH. Does anyone have any information on them?

> This Biography seems to be in error; it is written by Frederick Ward
KATES and the DAR book 1915 but I have found in 2 other genealogies that
Silas MARSH born 1764 did Marry Mary HARE, but she died AFTER he died in
Duanesburg, Schenectady, NY and so did he; he died BEFORE she did, so the
second marriage here is some one else in this original file ?

County, New York, Aug. 4, 1783, d. Dec. 23, 1851, at Mariaville, N. Y.,

1864, at Mariaville, and was buried there, daughter of Silas and Mary (Hare)
Marsh. Major Silas Marsh was b. May 26, 1764, at Lebanon, Conn., and d. Feb.
