Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Frankie MAYFIELD 
    Born 1 Jun 1910  Roberts, Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    • Birth date of Frankie Mayfield is entered in her birth record as 1 June 1909, with a notation indicating that it was based on an affidavit submitted by her sister-in-law Frances (Hurst) Mayfield, wife of her brother Walter. That date is also found in her Social Security Death Index. However, Frankie did not appear with her family in the 1910 Census, enumerated in April. Her age 9 in the 1920 Census, enumerated in January, indicates a likely birth year of 1910. Age 19 and 29 in the 1930 and 1940 censuses, enumerated later in the Spring, would put it in about 1910 or 1911. Age 18 in her July 1928 marriage record is also consistent with a June 1910 birth date.
