The tree in ? Mary Cornelia Havens b-8 April, 1867 Steuben NY-d- 15 Feb 1890 Corning Steuben NY. s/p of James G King b- Oct 1866 NY.

I believe this is Cornelia( Townsend) King, d/o Hezekiah Townsend b- 1828, d-19, November, 1899 at home of his daughter Cornelia King E.Market st. Info. from Hezekiah Townsend obit. NOT Cornelia Havens

Also, 1900, 1905 & 1915 census Corning Steuben NY show James G King (48),(wife) Cornelia King (49) and son David L King (24). More proof this is Cornelia (Townsend) King. Since the Cornelia( Havens) King listed in the tree died 1890.

My ? is who corrects this? How do I contact FS to get personal help? Thank you, Dotty

    The FamilySearch tree is an open-edit project. That means almost anyone can edit/correct when we find errors.

    The parents of David King of Corning, NY, were Mary Cornelia Havens and James G King. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YSGQ-CJJ https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-67Z1-JP

    The parents of Roy E Ferris of Elmira, NY, were Mary Havens and John C Ferris. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9Q97-YSGQ-CRL

    It appears that there were two women named Mary Havens, so you will have to do research to prove which one was the daughter of John Havens and Helen Brewer.
