I think it's a giveaway by virtue of his name that Tom Grant Wood b 1862 was the son of the Thomas Grant Hellier Elizabeth married a month later

I have seen other instances of deceased husbands being shown as the father of illegitimate children on birth certs when they clearly died before the conception of the child
