Sources: (1) Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, Identified as Hilory Harris, b. Sep 11 1875, son of Daniel & Ellenor Harris. Although the actual birth record entry incorrectly identified the child as a female, the birth record index correctly indicated a male. While the spelling of the first name is "Hilory" in the birth record, many variations have been found in other records, but "Hillory" seems to be the de facto standard. BR Bk 1, p. 73.
