(42) Donald Edward Ramage, Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol. III, 4117 Almaville Rd, Smyna TN 37167 (1988, rev. 1999) Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in 1900 Census as June 1857. But age 20 in Aug 1874 marriage record would put birth in about 1854, age 5 in the 1860 Census would put it in about 1855, and age 16 in 1870 would put it in about 1854, while the birth date on his headstone is 1858. His birth record shows that he was born on May 30 1855. Note (2) Birth date given in 1900 Census as May 1859, and age in death record puts it at May 13 1859. But age 17 given at Aug 1874 marriage would put birth in about 1857, while birth date on headstone is 1860. But in the 1860 Census, she was age 4, with younger sister Susan age 2, thus putting Eliza's birth in about 1856, consistent with the 1857 in her marriage record. Note (3) Britton Rest Home Note (4) Birthplace given as Doddridge County in marriage record, but daughter's death record states Alvy, Tyler County. Note (5) Birth date given in SSDI as Apr 23 1888, in death record as Apr 23 1889 (age as 78 at time of death on Apr 10 1968), and in obituary as Apr 10 (presumably a typographical mixup with birth date) 1890 (age 78). The 1900 Census shows her birth date as Apr 1889, age 11. Note (6) In household of brother Claude and his family.
