Event Notes
Note (1) Age given in death record as 60y 1m 11, which calculates to a birth date of
Jan- 8-1852, while "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 116, reports birth
date as Dec 29 1849, which is also more in line with birth dates of nearby
siblings.  But birth date on headstone is between the two, Dec 29 1850.
Note (2) Birth date on headstone is 1878.
