Event Notes
Note (1) Birth date on headstone is 1841, but death record shows it as Sep 11 1843. 
Age 21 given at time of Oct 1865 marriage would conform to the 1865 birth date. 
Daughter's death record states mother's birthplace as Maryland, while another
daughter's (Ida) death record states Ritchie County.  The 1870 Census shows it
as Virginia.  Her own marriage record and death record show birthplace as Marion
County, the same as her sister..
