Event Notes
Note (1) Birthplace given in death record as Lumberport, Harrison County, and her
marriage record also states Harrison County.  But her birth record shows it as
Doddridge County.  Given the discrepancies and the fact that the birth record
was a typed ledger book entry apparently made long afterwards, her actual
birthplace remains in doubt.
