Event Notes
Note (1) Age 65 in death record would put birth in about 1839.  But age 15 in 1850
Census, 26 in 1860, and 35 in 1870 puts birth in 1834 or 1835, while the 1900
Census shows her birth date as Jun 1836, age 63.  "Doddridge County Cemeteries"
reports birth date as 26 Jun 1834, but with death date 17 May 1904, listed as
Katie Powell, wife of Joseph.
