But age in her death record calculates to a birth date of Jul 5 1860. Her age in the 1920 Census would put her birth date in about 1862, in agreement with the July 1862 birth date given in the 1900 Census. Note (2) Birthplace given in marriage record as Doddridge County, but the 1900, 1930 and 1940 censuses shows it as Ohio, and death record states Springfield, Ohio. Note (3) Findagrave incorrectly reports Martin E. Day's parents as Nathan & Jane Day, rather than Floyd & Juretha Day as shown in his birth record. The birth record for Martin E. Day shows his birth date as Feb 26 1887, which is almost certainly incorrect. That date is only five months after the birth of his next older sibling. Also, his headstone shows his birth date as Feb 26 1888 and his death date as May 19 1890. His death record (name is incorrectly entered as Marion E. Day) omits his death date but gives his burial date as May 20 1890 and indicates his age as 2y 3m 3d. With a death date of May 19 1890, that age calculates to a birth date of Feb 16 1888, further evidence that the 1887 date in his birth record is incorrect. The ten-day difference between Feb 16 and Feb 26 is a likely mathematical error, common in such calculations. The correct birth and death dates appear to be as inscribed on his headstone, Feb 26 1888 - May 19 1890.
