The second one, Geo W Ford is the same error; the image shows he is 26, not 96. The third and last one, Thomas B Peebler is 13, not 93.

−

*Thomas Smith, alledgedly born in 1739 in Arkansas (clearly impossible), and 20 missing records ~~where probably~~ there is no birthyear specified or transcribed.

+

*Thomas Smith, alledgedly born in 1739 in Arkansas (clearly impossible), and again checking the underlying image directly, we see that he was 11, not 111.

+

*Astute readers adding up the above numbers will see that there are 20 missing records. My assumption is that in those cases, there is no birthyear specified or transcribed.
