I am adding to the Big Tree with a paternal DNA match and am now looking at a memorial for Priscilla Moore which has obvious error in the bio
"Priscilla Sullivan was born abt. 1729 in charlotte Virginia. Her parents were James Sullivan and Metoaka Bolling. She married John Moore on Dec 23, 1780 in Virginia. They had several children."

but shows her attached to Matoaka "Meta" Bolling Sullivan 1729–1775 https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/105611939/matoaka_sullivan as her mother instead of Sarah Sullivan

Any idea where this comes from?
A picture of a book page with list of children for James Sullivan, Sr. is attached but no wife listed
