Sewall's Point - in the American Revolutionary War...not in Florida
I noticed on Sewall Brown's record for his American Revolutionary War service that the system is putting Sewall's Point in Palm Beach, Florida.
It umm…would be more like Brookline, Massachusetts.
Given the year, is there anyone who can fix these errors?

That's one of the place standardization issues, again. The original document only specified "Sewall's Point," with no state/colony. The algorithm made a guess because it abhors a void and had to put something there. There IS a Sewall's Point in Florida, but it dates from 1889.
You can edit if you know the correct location. Sewall Brown's Findagrave memorial indicates he was born and died in New Hampshire.
