Note (2) Headstone gives death date as 1907, at variance with death record 2-176. [Donnelly, p. 417 & 443] Note (3) Birthdate for Thomas Jefferson West previously reported as Aug 17 1848 (source not documented), but Donnelly (p. 413, citing D. R. Davisson papers) states it as Sep 12 1849. Death record, as reported by Patricia B. Hickman, lists age as 12, but headstone gives age at death on Apr 30 1859 as 10y 7m 18d, which would put birthdate on Sep 12 1848.Name Index
