Event Notes Note (1) Susie Davis Nicholson, "Davis - The Settlers of Salem, West Virginia," p. 371, reports birth date as Jun 30 1869. But death record shows it as Dec 30 1869. Age 9 in the 1880 Census and age 59 in the 1930 Census would put birth in about 1871. Note (2) Death date 1929 on headstone is incorrect. He was present for the 1930 Census, and his death record states his death date as Jul 5 1939. Note (3) Obituary of daughter Irene Edith Nicholson Cox stated that she "was born Dec 16 1919 in Doddridge County, a daughter of the late Ambrose Nicholson and Sarah Frances Cox Nicholson." Ambrose Nicholson was actually her grandfather. Note (4) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Nov 1898. Note (5) Birth date given as Jul 30 1907 in both marriage records. But SSDI and "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 375, show it as Jul 30 1906. Date on headstone is July 1906. But the 1906 date would conflict with the Dec 1905 birth date of his sister. Note (6) "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 376, reports birth date as Oct 14 1909. But death record states "Oct ? 1908"
