HOWEVER, the cited URL is a FindAGrave SEARCH query, not an actual memorial page, so the specific claims of death date 30 Oct 1843 and burial at 'Balltown Cemetery, Balltown, Chautauqua County' are NOT substantiated by any record and should not be relied upon. The report's burial (Smith Mills, NY) and death date (22 Oct 1843) remain the primary record. findagrave ↗
