Event Notes
Note (1) Birthplace given in marriage record as Lewis County, WVa, but 1880 Census
states that he was born in Ohio.
Note (2) "Davis - The Settlers of Salem WV," p. 41, incorrectly reports death date as
Jan 26 1906.  But "Doddridge County Cemeteries," p. 80, reports it as Jan 26
1907, citing the West Union Record of Feb 1 1907.  Headstone itself also reads
Jan 26 1907.
