  · Elizabethtown Township, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada · DOWNGRADED likely -> unconfirmed. Asserted by a single uncited family tree (Geni) and matched only on the parents (one anchor); it gives nothing about Samuel's own birth date or vitals. Crucially, the Geni page could not be rendered by the auditor's browser fetch (status 200 but empty body), so Samuel's presence among the children is sourced only from second-hand search-engine extracts, not a verified view of the record. This is a one-anchor, unverified-content claim and cannot support a 'likely' rating. tree ↗

  The father, John Whitley, was born 17 Nov 1761 in Elizabethtown Twp., Leeds Co., Ontario and died Sep 1838; his parents are given as John Whitley and Mary Tucker. likely

  1761-11-17 · Elizabethtown Township, Leeds County, Ontario, Canada · DOWNGRADED confirmed -> likely. Matches the report's father on birth year and death year, but rests entirely on two secondary family trees (RootsWeb, Geni), not primary records, and concerns a relative rather than Samuel himself. Also contains an internal inconsistency: a man born in 1761 could not have been born in Elizabethtown Twp., Leeds Co., Ontario (the area was settled by Loyalists only c.1784), suggesting the birthplace is a tree error. Corroborates the parent identity but does not rise to 'confirmed.' tree ↗tree ↗

  The mother, Margaret Hagerman, was born 28 May 1771 and died 1845 in Leeds and Grenville Co., Ontario; she was a daughter of John Hagerman (United Empire Loyalist) and Phoebe Ferguson. likely

  1771-05-28 · Leeds and Grenville Counties, Ontario, Canada (death) · DOWNGRADED confirmed -> likely. Matches the report's mother on birth year and death year, but is sourced only from secondary family trees (RootsWeb, WikiTree), not primary records, and concerns a relative rather than Samuel himself. The trees also disagree on her birthplace (see discrepancies). Corroborates the parent identity but does not rise to 'confirmed.' tree ↗tree ↗

unconfirmed mother.birthPlace: report “not specified in report (report only gives Margaret Hagerman 1771-1845)” vs. found “Conflicting: RootsWeb family group sheet gives Margaret Hagerman's birthplace as 'New Bedford, Bristol Co., Massachusetts'; a Geni-derived search summary gives 'Dutchess, New York'. Hagerman family histories place the Loyalist Hagermans near Poughkeepsie, Dutchess Co., New York before emigrating to Canada in 1784.”. Concerns the mother, not Samuel directly; a data conflict among supporting trees. The Dutchess Co., NY origin is better supported by Hagerman UE Loyalist accounts. Unresolved from secondary sources alone.

unconfirmed father.birthPlace: report “not specified in report” vs. found “Tree gives John Whitley's birthplace as Elizabethtown Twp., Leeds Co., Ontario in 1761 — chronologically implausible, since that area was settled by United Empire Loyalists only c.1784. Likely a tree error (birth probably pre-emigration in the American colonies).”. Concerns the father, not Samuel directly. Flagged because it undermines the reliability of the same trees used to assert Samuel's place in the family.

unconfirmed name: report “Samuel Whitley” vs. found “Samuel C. Whitley (with middle initial 'C') per Geni”. Not a contradiction; the report simply omits a middle initial. Recorded for completeness. Note this middle initial itself comes only from unverified search snippets of the Geni page.
