Find-A-Grave Confusion

So Find-A-Grave sent me on a wild goose chase for a couple of months.

When I first started researching my Pitner/Carroll line, I found Sarah E. Pitner Carroll on findagrave.com listing her mother as Aseneth Williams Pitner and her father as James Pitner.  Great, that's my Sarah.

Except nothing else fit.  My Sarah didn't die in Georgia. She died here in Missouri.  And she remarried so her last name was McAllister. And on and on with the discrepancies.  I started to think maybe Find-A-Grave had made a mistake.  It seemed unlikely though because normally their information is pretty reliable.

Long story short, this was Sarah E. Wright who married a James M. Carroll.  Her parents were Spencer and Mary Wright.  I clicked on the Edit tab and suggested the correction. About two days later I got an email informing me that they accepted my correction.

The only problem is they still have her maiden name listed as Pitner.  But, hey, you can't have everything.

So here is the corrected Sarah E. Wright Carroll's Find-A-Grave

Here is my Sarah Ann Pitner Carroll McAllister's Find-A-Grave

Here is my Sarah's mother Asenath Williams Pitner's Find-A-Grave

And here is her father James Pitner's Find-A-Grave

Moral of the story... just because something is generally always right, doesn't mean it's always always right.
