Event Notes
Note (1) Age 22 at time of Nov 1876 marriage would put birth in about 1854.  But she
was 17 at time of Dec 1860 marriage, and birth date on headstone is Oct 17 1843.
Note (2) Birth date given in marriage record as Jun 15 1884, and date on headstone is
also 1884.  But 1900 Census shows it as June 1883, and a notation entered by a
family member on Findagrave.com advises that the 1884 date on his headstone is
incorrect.
