But his West Virginia death certificate specifies his birth as Apr 13 1846 in "Whetzel Co Va," now Wetzel Co, WV. His age at death, given as 82y 0m 18d, conforms to that birth date. But in the death record maintained at Calhoun County, which does not specify a birth date, his age at death is given as 82y 2m 18d, which would put his birth date at Feb 13 1846. The 1900 Census also states his birth date as Apr 1846. Validity of his Wetzel County birthplace is unclear, since all other members of this family are thought to have been born in Greene Co, PA. Informant for the death certificate was Cordelia Husk Boggs, his youngest daughter. www.doddridgecountyroots.com Name Index
