Martin, physician. A column in the ledger-style death record was labeled "Place of Birth," but the word Birth was overwritten with the word Death. In the column for this death was entered Taylor County. Since her birth has been established from other sources as Taylor County, that was probably the intent here as well. (Note: Minnie Kendall Lowther's "Ritchie County in History & Romance," p. 253, reports death date as February 1908. She also reports Emily's birth date as Oct 19 1820, while the reported age at death on Mar 3 1808 computes to a birth date of Oct 21 1820.), DR p. 156.

Event Notes Note (1) in household of son Jacob Note (2) In household with family of daughter Hattie and her husband Marcellus Allen Kendall. Note (3) Age 4 in 1860 Census would put birth in about 1856, while the 1900 Census shows it as Dec 1857, her death record indicates Dec 5 1860, and age 82 in her obituary would put it in about 1854. But her birth record clearly shows her birth as Feb 4 1857 ("Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 254, reports it as Feb 5 1857). Note (4) Birth date given in "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 254, as Dec 13 1858. But age 33y 11m 13d on headstone calculates to a birth date of May 13 1858. Unclear where the error lies.Name Index
