  Note: Something very strange. There is a Birth Registration for Marshall Stevens, date May 17 1863, shown a a twin of Rachel Edith Stevens, children of Orin Stephens and Rebecca VanGeyan. Problem is, Marshal appeared in the 1861 age 2. This birth registration is wrong. Look close and you will see the pages of reg'n's are transcriptions of older births done on the new form - with the registration date of Aug 24 1876. They obviously did not checkwith the parents. It's a paperwork error.^1,2,3
