Event Notes Note (1) Wife Nancy's marital status was given as widowed at the time of her remarriage in January 1862. However, since she was head of household with her daughter in the 1860 Census (enumerated on Aug 8 1860), it is reasonable to assume that he had already died at that time. No record of his death has been found. Note (2) Birth date given in 1900 Census as Nov 1837. Note (3) In household with family of daughter Aggie and son-in-law James Stubbs.Name Index
