(14) 1900 Census, Doddridge County, WV (Greenbrier District) Event Notes Note (1) "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 132, incorrectly reports her death date as Jun 16 1889, three years before the birth of her son Charles. Her headstone shows her death date as Jun 17 1899. Her husband was listed as a widower in the 1900 Census. Note (2) "Davis - the Settlers of Salem WV," p. 134, reports birth date as Mar 20 1882, and 1900 Census also shows birth date as March 1882. But death record shows it as Mar 16 1883. Note (3) "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 132, reports birth date as Sep 3 1886. But headstone shows it as May 1 1886.
