needs independent verification: exact day/month of birth (18 Feb 1817) rests on a decades-removed, secondary-informed burial-index entry — a Northwood, New Hampshire town-clerk birth return or other original vital record would confirm the day and month.[6]
The Massachusetts State Vital Records death index for this 25 Jul 1908 death gives ‘Event Place: Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom’ — this is a FamilySearch place-authority geocoding error, not the record’s own reading. The record’s untouched ‘Event Place (Original)’ field reads only the bare word ‘Cambridge’, and the collection title itself is ‘Massachusetts, State Vital Records.’ Three independent Massachusetts-based records place the family in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts, not England: the 1880 US Census shows Leonard Morrill (occupation cobbler) and wife Prudence living in Cambridgeport, Cambridge, Middlesex, MA; his daughter Melissa A. Morrill’s own 31 May 1876 death record (Massachusetts, Town Clerk, Vital and Town Records) places her death in Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts and names Leonard Morrill and Mary J. Morrill as her parents; and FamilySearch’s own record-linking clusters this death entry with the Find a Grave burial, the 1862 New Hampshire marriage to Prudence H. Coburn, and the 1850-1900 US Census entries under one tree person. Death place is accordingly recorded here as Cambridge, Middlesex, Massachusetts.[7]
