Event Notes
Note (1) Birth date given in marriage record as Dec 25 1860, but headstone shows it as
Dec 25 1858.
Note (2) Age 14 given in 1880 Census would put birth date in about 1866 (same as
half-brother Andrew in the same census), and age 63 in 1930 Census would put it
in about 1867.  But her mother died before her father's remarriage in Sep 1865,
and her birth date is given as Apr 17 1864 in both marriage record and death
record, .
