(11) Barbour County Birth Records, Philippi, WV, Through an apparent clerical error, William R. Callihan's mother is 
incorrectly identified in his birth record as Penelope Chrislip.  The adjacent entries in the handwritten ledger are for 
Chrislip mothers, and the clerk seems to have made the entry on the wrong line and carried over the previously entered 
surname.  William's death record correctly identifies his mother as Penelope Welch.  His birth date in this birth record 
is Nov 1 1872, but his death record states Nov 2 1872. BR p. 119, Line 20 :
