But the Ritchie County Historical Society's "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries Through 1993" reports the headstone reading as Apr 3 1883. Note (2) Age 24 in 1850 Census would put birth in about 1826. But "Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 301, reports Mar 25 1821, citing the Family Bible.Name Index
