Here's a bit of history, polygamy for US women has never been a thing.
At first glance this looks like another case of someone thinking the same name equals the same person. I found this person, people actually, on two trees so of course there are probably more. These people decided to combine two women, Lucinda Woltz (B: 1836) and Catherine Woltz (B: 1839). They are sisters. Lucinda married Henry Springer and Catherine married Joseph Delong. This could've been prevented a couple different ways. One, work in families. Tree #1 looks to be working in families until Catherine & Lucinda's parents. There are 5 children listed in the 1850 Census, only one is included on the tree. Maybe if they decide to attach the census record to her parents and not just to her they will see their error. Tree #2 looks to be working in families but has no records.
