Married Jan 1 1890. (6) Doddridge County WV Deaths 1853-1969, Wes Cochran, 156 Gihon Meadows, Apt 150, Parkersburg, WV 26101. Event Notes Note (1) Age 40 in marriage record of Apr 1911 would put birth in about 1871. But age 21 at marriage in Jan 1890 would put it at about 1868, and age 52 on death record of July 1919 puts it at about 1867. Birth date on headstone is 1868. Note (2) Age 30 at time of Jan 1890 marriage would put birth in about 1859. But age 7 in the 1860 Census would put it in about 1853, age 58y 8m 25d in death record would put it at Jun 11 1851, and age 47 with a birth date of July 1852 was given in the 1900 Census. The latter appears to be the most accurate. But Ramage's "Doddridge County Cemeteries Vol. I," p. 23, citing her obituary, reports a birth date of Jul 14 1851. Her death date, however, is reported one day later, Mar 9 1910.
