Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given as Aug 1858 in 1900 Census, and age was given as 20 at time of Nov 1877 marriage. But death record states his age on Feb 11 1939 as 84y 5m 21d, with birth date given as Aug 20, year not specified. The death record thus implies a birth date of Aug 20th or 21st 1854, which appears to be incorrect. Birth place in death record given as Straight Fork in Doddridge County, but marriage record shows his birth place as Ritchie County. Note (2) Age 24 given at time of marriage would put birth in about 1853. But age was 2 in 1850 Census, 1900 Census shows birth date as Feb 1848, and death record specifies birth date as Feb 22 1848.Name Index
