Notes (interpretation — not data bullets)
- New / upgraded vs catalog:
- Marriage 30 Jan 1858 Independence Warren (4 sources) — upgrades the catalog's "c. 1858 (inferred)"; independently corroborated by D.349 ("married 52 years" in 1910).
- Amanda Jane Batley — full given name "Jane" (catalog had "Amanda J.").
- Conflicts to flag (tree-tier, not authoritative):
- Birthplace = "Johnsonburg, Warren" here vs "Vienna, Warren" in L.90. Both Warren Co.; not yet primary-source-resolved.
- Malinda Arabella DOB = "29 Apr 1859" here vs "20 Sep 1859" in p.163.
- George Armstrong birthplace = "Green, Sussex" here vs p.163's "Atlantic-Hudson Hunterdon-Warren."
- Tree-tier source — use as lead, not evidence (per
feedback_ancestry_family_trees_low_certainty). Distinct tree (28515039) from L.90's 33965336 = an independent corroboration of the same family reconstruction.
