Event Notes
Note (1) He was one of ten Civil War veterans from Doddridge County who attended the
Gettysburg 50th Anniversary observance in 1913.
Note (2) Although obituary states birth date as Jun 23 1848, age 62y 4m 5d reported in
obituary would actually put birth date at Jun 22 1848. Immediate family had
long believed it to be Jun 13 1848, basis unknown. Age given at death in death
record would put birth date at May 22 1848. Headstone gives only the year 1848.
Note (3) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Sep 1870, age 29. But her age was one in
the 1870 Census (enumerated in September) and 11 in the 1880 Census (enumerated
in June). Birth date on headstone is 1868.
Note (4) to younger family members
Note (5) In household with her widowed brother Walter and his children.
Note (6) But Doddridge County death records (Bk 2, p. 143) give birth date as Apr 10
1889.
