Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Andrew Jackson GAINES 
    Born 1850  Virginia (now West Virginia) Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4] 
    • Birth date given in the 1900 Census as January 1848. But his death record shows it as 8 February 1849, while the date on his headstone is 1850. He was age 9 in the 1860 Census, but age 21 in 1870. Although his death record and his son's birth record indicate his birthplace as Wood County, where the family was residing in 1860, his presence in the 1850 Census of Harrison County makes that questionable.
