William Thomas Graham appears to be incorrectly described as the 2nd Viscount of Dundee

According to Cracroft's Peerage (http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/dundee1688.htm) there is no William Thomas Graham who held the peerage 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Viscount of Dundee. However, Family Search has a Discovery Page contradicting this assertion calling William Thomas Graham the 2nd Viscount of Dundee: https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/LFVC-GSN/william-thomas-graham-2nd-viscount-of-dundee-1648-1751. Are we contradicting Cracroft's Peerage? Cracroft's says the 1st was John, the 2nd James, and the 3rd David. The Peerage was dissolved after those three Grahams had the title.

    @Rick Rice_1 , The Discovery Page summary of the individual is made from the contributors of the individual. So to make this discovery page correct, one needs to go to the person page of William Thomas Graham LFVC-GSN, and make the correction and give the proof and evidence, such as Cracroft's Peerage. It would be good to message the contributor of the incorrect information to let them know.

    We hope this explains how the Discovery Page is created. Thank you for your diligence in correct history!
