Narrative

Some unsigned comments by a descendant regarding Ruth C. Paine:
1. Notes that her son Capt James P. Lansil's biography says she was born in 1778, but points out that Truro Vital Records says 9/17/1783.
2. Points out that the biography says she died in 1837, age 53, which matches the Truro Vital Records birth date, but not the birth date given in the biography itself.

A reformatted chart of childrens' names for five generations of the Paines and Lansils, done by a descendant of Ruth C. Paine:
