Event Notes Note (1) Age 26 in 1880 marriage record would put birth in about 1854, an apparent clerical error; age 48 in 1894 marriage record puts it at about 1846, and the 1900 Census specifies Oct 1846. However, his death record states birth date as Oct 4 1845, while his headstone shows it as Oct 12 1844. There is also a conflict with his date of death, with the death record stating Feb 14 1922, while he headstone has Feb 22 1922. Note (2) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Mar 1885, but death record states Mar 11 1884. Birthplace given in 1900 Census and in death record as Pennsylvania, but marriage record states Doddridge County.
