Event Notes Note (1) Although his death record indicates his burial place as Mt. Olive, his headstone is located at Eddy Cemetery, Miletus. Note (2) Not with family in 1860 Census. Note (3) Birthplace given in marriage record as Taylor County, WVa, but 1900 Census shows it as Indiana. Note (4) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Jun 1849, in Indiana. But she was not in the 1850 Census, and her death record states Jun 12 1855, while the date on her headstone is 1859. A age 7 in the 1860 Census puts birth in about 1853, which appears to be the most accurate gauge. Note (5) Not with family in 1870 Census.Name Index
