Agreed - same here in Massachusetts, in part because some houses predate the splitting off of neighboring towns. As for improving the data, I have personally visited and made GPS observations on all but one corner monument for my town. My observations compare very closely with the (surveyed) data from the state, so I think the state data is more accurate. But I have actually checked it for blunders.
