Event Notes Note (1) Doddridge County birth records show her birth as Jun 29 1892 at Holbrook, which is just inside Ritchie County but is considered by many to be in Doddridge County and sometimes reported that way. This would explain why the birth record is located in Doddridge County. SSDI also has birth date as Jun 29. But obituary states birth as Jun 19 1892 in Ritchie Co, and her headstone also has birth date as Jun 19 1892. Birth date in 1900 Census is Jun 1891. www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
