You can decide for yourself....

I received the cemetery records today on 24 Oct 2014, and it does verify all family members buried in the same family plot. 
Union Cemetery
Steubenville
Jefferson County
Ohio, USA
Plot: Section: St P; Lot: 62


Yet, all SAC's by me made to said person who created the memorials has been denied and/or rejected. I originally submitted six (6) SAC's to the person in question which were declined.


Although this is for a memorial on find a grave. I will add the fact my grand aunt Edna Barbara Horner married into the Archer family. There were two Horner lineages of Jefferson County, Ohio.
I have thoroughly researched my lineage as well as all Horner's of Jefferson County, Ohio.

This person who created the memorial for William J Archer refuses to accept the SAC's as provided by me are consistently rejected by Dani Ryan.

Dani Ryan is not related to my Horner lineage, and therefore is not related in anyway to the Archers or Elliotts of Jefferson County, Ohio.

How would you deal with a find a grave person who refuses to accept SAC edits because there are no dates on a headstone?

I have the death records for exact dates of death.

Any input would be appreciated. Also I have the obituary for William J Archer, which mentions the first wife's name as Mary Ann, and maiden name of Chapman for said spouse yet the same person who created the memorial refuses to accept fact because the name of the headstone is Annie and the death record is for Mary Ann. There are no dates on the headstone.

You can decide for yourself....

The obituary or biographical sketch on the find a grave memorial for William J Archer is erroneous and misleading to other researchers.

I see no mention of his first wife's maiden name as Weir, see attached obituary.

 
He was born in Ware, England. - FACT

This is the info on hand.

William J Archer, born 20 May 1845 in Ware, England was married in 1865 to his first wife, Mary Ann nee Chapman. Mary Ann Archer nee Chapman died on 8 Jun 1876 in Steubenville, Ohio. William J Archer then then married Emma Lauretta Elliott of Steubenville on 27 Jan 1877, after his first wife's death.

Her reply:
"Greetings,

Find A Grave contributor Dani Ryan has made a suggestion to you regarding your Find A Grave memorial for Minnie Archer.
Link to memorial:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=121707596
Link to contributor profile: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=mr&MRid=46812146
Email address of contributor: Freeholdpals@aol.com
No offense against and/or to anyone. Her first reply to me is "I have being doing genealogy for 30 years."

Their suggestion:
-------------------------
Mr Horner,
It is apparent that the Archer family is not directly related as it seems that records are being added to the memorials but nothing is proven or collaborated. William J Archer was married to an Annie Weir who died in England prior to coming here to America after his first wife's death with their daughter Lizzie, the only child born to the first union. He married second Emma Elliott to whom he had 6 children, all of whom lived to adulthood. The children are:

William Edwin
Charley H (aka Charles)
George E
Edward J
Grace
Walter

William, Charles (Charley), George, and Edward all married. Grace and Walter never married. William was born 10 Apr 1879 (which can be verified in the birth records and also on his draft information to which he gave the info) so it is impossible for him to be the Willie to whom I created the memorial on. William J the father never had a son named Harry so he is eliminated. Since his first wife Annie died in England, I am pretty certain that the one named Mary Ann is NOT his first wife, which brings for discussion the daughter Minnie that was buried with Annie. Minnie wasnt a daughter of his so that eliminates Annie and Minnie from being anyway related to this particular William J Archer. William had a total of 7 children (1 from his first marriage and 6 from the second)
Since I connect to the Archers and Horners of Jefferson County, Ohio and since I was born and raised here my whole life, I have researched my lines thoroughly. Documents cant be taken and made to fit whom one wants them to. I would appreciate it if the death registers were removed off my memorials I created as they are incorrectly identified with the wrong individuals as I have shown. Not only do I use tombstones but there are other records one can use to verify everything including but not limited to birth records, death records, marriage records, obituaries, wills, actual cemetery records from the cemeteries (not hand recorded in books), military records etc. Information off these records will fit without making them or forcing them to be what one wants. If it is the right line all information will flow together and verify itself. By the way there were numerous Archer families in Jefferson County, Ohio from early on to even now and it is an unsafe practice to "assume" a record belongs to a certain individual prior to eliminating each one or proving it beyond a doubt. The death registers that are attached to my memorials have no parents names to verify anything. I have been working for over 30+ years and have documentation each step to each person and every generation. I have also added to William J Archer's memorial information regarding his children and to whom they married and when. His obituary has been on his memorial since its inception. His wife Emma was living when he died and I am pretty certain she would have known a lot of information concerning his first wife as well.
In the future, please dont send tons of corrections unless they are fully verified and proven as that doesn no one any good to have memorials that are incorrect and makes the FindAGrave website filled with incorrect information people will copy and paste which creates erroneous websites such as ancestry, etc.
Your immediate cooperation is greatly appreciated in removing the registers and in the future, if one wants to make a suggestion the edit button works fine and if one doesnt see the corrects emailing and asking would be a great way to find out why. This is why I dont automatically change records on my memorials especially if I know I have researched them. I will state why I dont agree with a suggestion but the email system doesnt always send them to the recipient which is not in my control. Also one last thing, please remove Minnie from being a daughter of William J Archer as she isnt.

Thank you
Dani Ryan"
