Sources: (1) Doddridge County Marriage Records, West Union, WV. (2) Barbour County Birth Records, Philippi, WV, Through an apparent clerical error, William R. Callihan's mother is incorrectly identified in his birth record as Penelope Chrislip. The adjacent entries in the handwritten ledger are for Chrislip mothers, and the clerk seems to have made the entry on the wrong line and carried over the previously entered surname. William's death record correctly identifies his mother as Penelope Welch. His birth date in this birth record is Nov 1 1872, but his death record states Nov 2 1872.

Smith, white female, born alive on May 8 1878 at Camp Mistake, dau of Thomas Smith (resident of Camp Mistake) & Matilda E. Smith. Informant: M. E. Smith, mother. (NOTE 1: Camp Mistake, which is situated on the border between Tyler and Doddridge counties, is more often considered to be a part of Doddridge County.) (NOTE 2: A second record for this birth is on file in Doddridge County. BR p. 99, Line 38, www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2608239&Type=Birth, identifies the child as Martha Ann Smith, white female, born alive on May 8 1878 in Doddridge County, dau of Thomas Smith & Matilda Underwood. Informant: "Aunt, Parents' Family Bible." Since this typewritten ledger entry was clearly made well after the fact, the original handwritten record in Tyler County is considered to have more validity. Both her marriage and death records state her birthplace as Tyler County.) (NOTE 3: This child did not appear by name in the 1880 Census, but was apparently misidentified as her deceased sister Cora, who was stillborn in 1876. Martha A. (Smith) Callihan appeared in the 1900 Census with a birth date of May 1878.), BR p. 120, Line 204 : www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=2657178&Type=Birth.
