The Harrison Co entry for his birthplace is an apparent error, as all other references to his birthplace have it as Barbour Co, with death record specifying Philippi. Death record also states birth date as May 26 1861. Wife identified as Inda F. Somerville, b. Feb 14 1866 in Doddridge Co. , MR Bk 2, p. 280. (17) 1910 Census.

Scott, Editor), Ritchie County, West Virginia Cemeteries through 1993, McClain Printing Co, Parsons, WV, 1995. Event Notes Note (1) Dates on headstone are 1832 - 1910. But census records consistently show that his birth was in 1837, while his death record shows that his death occurred in 1909 at age 72. Note (2) Birthplace given in marriage record as Wood County, but the 1870, 1880 and 1900 Census all show it as Indiana. Birth date on headstone is 1837. Note (3) Birth date given in death record as Mar 31 1861, but marriage record shows it as Mar 24 1861. Note (4) Not with family in 1880 Census. Note (5) Age at death given as 30y 10m 15d, which would put birth at Jan 30 1866 rather than the Feb 14 1866 specified in marriage record. The latter is considered more reliable. Name appears in marriage record as Inda, but as India elsewhere, including death record. Cause of death given as consumption. Note (6) Birth date on headstone is March 13 1871, but birth records show it as January 13 1871.Name Index
