It says:
Maria Sybilla Livingston (Smallgrove) should be born after her parent Honour Smallgrove or Snelgrove (Turner)
Tip: Correct the birth date of Maria Sybilla Livingston (Smallgrove) (born 1709) or Honour Smallgrove or Snelgrove (Turner) (born circa 1755).
This is on my son's paternal side, so I'm not familiar with the lines. All I know is there is nothing in this Maria's About section to validate her date of birth and she's connected to a mother born 46 years after she was born, which can't be correct.
Any assistance in documenting the dates and/or connections would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I ordered the book 'from Harleyville to Beulah Land' on the Livingston and Williamson families, among others. It has the mother of Capt. Martin Luther Livingston his father listed as Margaret Smallgrove b. 1724, instead of this Maria Sybilla Smallgrove.
The book states:
'Johannes Bernhardt Liebenstein was born in 1704 in Baden, Germany, the son of George Liebenstein and Maria Magdalena Lausher. He and his brother Hans Martin left Germany in 1727, arriving in Philadelphia that year. Johannes was first married to Maria Sybylla in about 1728. They had four children....In 1739, they were divorced. Bernhardt's first wife and four children kept the name of Liebenstein or Lowenstein...Bernhardt Liebenstein changed his name to Bernard Livingston after he married his second wife, Margaret Smallgrove in the 1740s. They had four children: Martin Luther, John, Bernad and Michael. "
Maria Sybila may not have been a Smallgrove by birth. Neither her Wiki nor her Find-a-Grave pages mentions her parents:

What is the evidence to support she was born a Smallgrove to the attached parents?
This is the Wiki page for Margaret Smallgrove, the correct mother for Martin Luther Livingston and his full siblings:

I don't 'think' her middle name was Maria. She is known in the Beulah Land book just as Margaret. I think Maria added as her middle name on Wiki is just more of the confusion / blending of her and Maria Sybila.
