My opinion is follow original documentation as well. I have found many older publications wrong. If we review documentation, may be able to distinguish correctly.

It’s difficult when working in this era. Certain well known descendants have had past genealogist that missed looking at the documents and used conjecture. Even the best, made mistakes, we must remember they didn’t have internet to search for documents.
