(2) Story about a DAR ceremony at Mary Nelson's grave, honoring the notion that she was the only daughter of a Revolutionary War veteran buried in Madison County. (Whether William Arbuckly actually was a "Revolutionary War" veteran in dispute, though he definitely served as a Private at the 1774 Battle of Point Pleasant, which was, in a meaningful sense, a precursor to the American Revolution) The two articles have essentially the same geneological information and make essentially the same historical errors.
