The latter two are considered more reliable, especially since the birth records existing for that time frame are typed transcriptions of the original handwritten entries, making typographical errors more likely.

Event Notes Note (1) 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. Note (2) Spelling "Iassac" provided by niece Georgia McCloy Lowther, but obituary of daughter Virgie gives spelling as "Isaac," as does his own marriage record. Note (3) Name appears on headstone as Jannie Reed, with birth/death dates 1886-1907.
