I'm afraid too many take these types of articles as gospel truth. Unfortunately sometimes information about previous generations are erroneous because they are written after someone has died and subsequent generations only give information they think is correct or has been passed down.

I also have a few guys in the family tree who appear to have been the right age to serve but for whom I can find no records.
