      Identified as Alexander Britton, white male, born alive in Doddridge County on Feb 21 1875, son of Joseph S. & Mary J. Britton. This is a one-line entry in a typed alphabetical ledger, which appears to have been transcribed from original hand-written records. The recorded birth date is at variance with both his death record and headstone, both of which reflect different dates in 1875.
