Gray as occurring in 1906.) (7) Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, Identified as Minne (sic) Opal (sic) Haught, white female, b. Aug 16 1888 at Oxford, the sixth child born to this mother. Father: Ben Pierce, age 20, b. Summers WV, occup farmer. Mother: Rosa Haught, age 17, b. Oxford WV. Informant: Ida Britton, aunt. (Note: It appears that this information was provided by her mother's sister many years after the child's birth, as Ida Haught did not marry George W. Britton until Apr 1930. The birth date is at variance from the Oct 16 1888 birth date given in her obituary and on her headstone, and she was actually the first of six children born to her mother.) (8) Headstone.
