Event Notes Note (1) Typed entry on death record showed birth date as Jul 9 1854, which was altered by pen to read Jul 9 1856. Age 77y 5m 24d would put birth at Jul 10 1856. But headstone shows birth date as only the year 1855. Death record also shows father as Shelton Ball and mother's maiden name as Roby. Note (2) Birthplace given in 1902 marriage record as Tyler County, but in 1918 marriage record as Ritchie County.
