Thurman and Linda, Thank you for helping me make a decision about the
marriage of Pliny and Elizabeth Kellogg Sacket. Weygant was so right on the
mark about most of his research. I've been over the Westfield records to
confirm my lines listed in his book. He did an amazing job and it is hard to
imagine he missed all those children but his source may not have known
about them so he didn't go further as they aren't listed as being in
Westfield. I also wondered about the records being transcriptions of some
earlier original record because of the handwriting. I did find Pliny's
birth in the Westfield records Book A p231. It corresponded to Weygant's
record. Ways to spell Pliny: Plinny/Plinney/Plin/Plyn/Pline and I'm sure
I'll find more. Thank you both for your imput. I'm going to go with the
marriage in 1776 and get myself back to the Family History Center and those
Church records. Thank you again. Patty B

24, 1753 date of birth; according to Ted Mudge that date came from the LDS
microfilm of the Westfield Records Book A, Page 231. That is an extraction
from a film of the original, or an early transcription of the original
records.

many years seem to have been written in the same hand writing which could
indicate that the record in the film, although old, are transcriptions of
the actual originals.

which gives Pliny's age at death on 8 Oct 1830 as 82 yrs which would place
his birth in 1748.

households are listed alphabetically which indicates that the original
sheets were copied and rearranged before they were placed in the National
Archives.
