BR 4-104 identifies him as Doctor Franklin Leggett, b. Jun 16 1920 at West Union, son of John Dewey Leggett & Nora Scott
[sic]. A delayed entry at Bk Del-1, p. 103, filed by the mother on Dec 10 1940, identifies him as Doctor Franklin
Leggett, b. Jun 16 1920 at West Union, son of John Dewey Leggett (age 22, resident of West Union) and Nora Stout (age
22, resident of Conings). The parents' different residences presumably pertains to the time of filing, rather than the
time of the child's birth. BR Bk 4, p. 104, and BR Bk Del-1, p. 103.

(19) Obituary, Obituary states only "Interment in the Point Pleasant cemetery." This is presumed to be the one at Oxford,
rather than the one at Fallen Timber, also in Doddridge County.
(20) Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, Identified as Lewis Leggett, b. May 19 1922 at Oxford, son of Dennis
[sic] Leggett & Nora Stout. The "Dennis" entry is presumably a transcription error meant to be "Dewey." His death
record incorrectly states birth date as May 21 1922, but then states age as six days at time of death on May 26 1922. BR
