Event Notes Note (1) Age at time of 1850 Census given as 15, between older sister Ann and younger brother William, thus putting his birth date at about 1835. But age 21 at time of marriage in Aug 1859 would put birth date at 1838, and age at time of re-marriage in May 1871 was given as 33, putting birth date at about 1837 or 1838. Note (2) Age 32 shown at time of 1869 death would put birth in about 1837. But marriage record and 1860 Census show it as about 1843. Also, birthplace of Doddridge County shown in death record is at variance with Meigs County, Ohio birthplace given in marriage record. It is likely that the death record informant erred in confusing her birthplace with her childhood residence. Note (3) Birth date given in death record as Oct 10 1864, but her birth record shows it as Oct 10 1865. Note (4) Birth date given in death record as Jun 16 1866. But age 24 in his Jan 1888 marriage record would put it in about 1863/64, and age 43 in the 1910 Census puts it in about 1867. But the 1900 Census shows it as Jun 1861, age 38. His whereabouts in the 1870 and 1880 Census is not known.
