Is Henrietta (L) Webster that married Rev. A P Viets a Lighthouse Descendant?

Answer is NO…. by my research…

Both Henrietta Websters (YES there are 2 of them) they were both born in Litchfield, Connecticut abt 1838 – One was born to Montgomery Webster – wife Sybil Elwell of the Lighthouse Tribe in Barkhamsted, CT & the other one was born to David Sanford Webster – wife Clarissa Wattles in Bethlehem, CT

Now let’s take a look at some important records:

It always saddens me when I disprove a line…

The “only way plausible” is if there are 2 Rev./Clergyman A P Viets also…..
