Event Notes Note (1) Birth date given in Jan 1933 death record as Aug 17 1852, age 79y 5m 10d, which is clearly incorrect, as is father's surname given as Harden rather than Harter. She was 17 in the 1880 Census, her birth date was given as Aug 1864 (age 35) in the 1900 Census (enumerated Jun 1900), and was specified as Aug 17 1863 in her marriage record. Note (2) Age 29 in 1910 Census would put birth in about 1881, but birth date on headstone is 1878, and death record specifies Feb 27 1878. Note (3) Birthplace given in marriage record as Doddridge County, but in his WW I draft registration as Bristol, which is in Harrison County. Note (4) Birth date given in marriage record as Mar 24 1893, while the 1900 Census shows it as March 1890, age 10. But birth date on headstone is Mar 24 1891. Note (5) In household of brother Ollie and his family. Note (6) Birth date given in death record as Apr 4 1896. But the 1900 Census shows it as Apr 1898, age 1, while his WW I draft registration states Apr 4 1899. Note (7) Birth date stated in 1969 marriage record as Feb 18 1900, and 1920 marriage record stated age as 21, while age 7 in 1910 Census would put birth date at about 1903. But his birth record and SSDI show it as Feb 18 1901. His birth record shows him to have a twin brother William N. McGary, birthplace Halls Run in Harrison County.. Note (8) Birth date given in death record and on headstone as Feb 17 1900, but his birth record shows it to be Feb 18 1901. Middle initial given in death record as M, but birth record shows it to be N, and daughter's marriage record states his middle name as Nathan.
