Event Notes Note (1) In 1900, in household of son William and his wife Mary Note (2) Ocean Mines Note (3) Since he was not present with his mother and older brother in the 1860 Census, it is likely that the January 1860 birth date in the 1900 Census and on his headstone is incorrect. Nonetheless, the 1870 Census shows his age as 11, and the 1880 Census shows it as 20.Name Index
