(26) Ritchie County WV Marriages 1843-1915, Wes Cochran, 2515 10th Ave, Parkersburg WV 26101 (July 1985) Event Notes Note (1) Birth date on headstone is 1846. Note (2) Age at death inscribed on headstone (39y 1m 21d) would put birth date at Dec 15 1847. Note (3) Minnie Kendall Lowther (History of Ritchie County, p. 259) incorrectly states death as occurring in 1898, pointing out that she was buried on same day as her father. But headstone dates of both show deaths to have occurred in 1887. Her headstone reads: Talith Davis Gribble, died Feb 5 1887, age 39y 1m 21d. Note (4) "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 132 & 200, reports birth date as Feb 23 1871. But "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries," p. 626, reports birth date on headstone as 1872.Name Index
