NOTE:  This ledger-style birth record is a typed, alphabetized transcription of original handwritten records.  Since 
Allie (Ashcraft) Bates' birthdate is clearly entered as January 1883 in the 1900 Census, it is likely that the June 
entry in the birth record is the result of a transcription error. BR p. 125, Line 6 :
