| 23001 | The 1880 Census indicates her birth as about 1817 in (West) Virginia, but the 1900 Census shows it as April 1823 in Maryland. | GRIMM, Mary Ellen (I56152)
|
| 23002 | The 1880 Doddridge County Census shows Solomon Exaline (sic) living with the family of his former son-in-law Leander Husk and his wife Sarah. | EXLINE, Solomon (I3793)
|
| 23003 | The 1890 Veterans Census (entries for which were provided by the veterans themselves) states that Abraham W. Mallow served in Co I, 7th W.Va. Infantry, from 15 Nov 1861 to 15 apr 1865. However, other military records show that he enlisted at Greenland on 22 Nov 1861, mustered on active duty at Greenland on 3 Dec 1861, and deserted at Luray, Virginia on 12 June 1862. As of 8 Sep 1863, he was still listed as a deserter. There is no record of a military pension for him or his wife. | MALLOW, Abraham Wise (I133697)
|
| 23004 | The 1890 Veterans Schedule and a 1913 newspaper article state his unit as Co D, 15th W.Va. Cavalry. But other military record and his military grave marker show his unit as Co D, 15th W.Va. Infantry. | COWMAN, John S. (I86688)
|
| 23005 | The 1890 Veterans Schedule entry for Peter B. Haught, which was based solely on information provided by his widow Bashaba, indicated that he had served for 1 yr 5 mo, with a discharge date of June 1865. But monthly company muster rolls completed at the time of his service clearly show that he enlisted in Doddridge County for a period of three years on Dec 8 1862 with a muster-in date of Jan 9 1863 at Wheeling, and that he was mustered out in Wheeling on Apr 23 1864. His length of service thus corresponds to the 1890 Veterans Schedule, but with different dates. He seems to have understated his age by ten years during his military service. The two companies of the W.Va. Independent Exempt Infantry were stationed at Wheeling, the state capital, to perform guard and escort duties. | HAUGHT, Peter B. (I49)
|
| 23006 | The 1890 Veterans Survey, in which he was listed as Absolem Hyleman, indicates his service dates as Jul 1861 to 1865, unit given as 14th W.Va. Inf, company not specified. Information in that Survey is generally as provided to the enumerator by the veteran himself. But "Hileman Genealogy" reports his service dates as Sep 1864 to Jun 1865, which is more in keeping with his documented draft registration in Jul 1863. Other records, including his Civil War pension record, indicate his unit as Co C, 6th W.Va. Inf. | HILEMAN, Absalom (I6368)
|
| 23007 | The 1900 Census gives her birth date as Dec 1887, but the SSDI shows it as Dec 29 1889. The birth date on her headstone is also 1889. However, Doddridge County birth records show that Dollie M. White was born on Dec 28 1886. The space for her father's name was lined through, and her mother was identified as "Sarah E. (Virgin)." Informant was listed as William White, Sarah's father. Sarah and James Sanford Ingram were married two years later. | INGRAM, Dollie M. (White) (I40520)
|
| 23008 | The 1900 Census gives his birth date as Jun 1892. | HEFLIN, Glenn Bee (I19875)
|
| 23009 | The 1900 Census gives his birth date as Oct 1860, which conflicts with the Aug 1860 given for his sister Mary, who was enumerated in a different household. The 1870 Census shows the ages for siblings Phoebe, Josiah Jr, and Mary and 14, 12 and 10 respectively. Marriage record specifies birth date as Sep 12 1858, while the date on his headstone is 1857. | REED, Josiah Jr. (I45980)
|
| 23010 | The 1900 Census gives his birth date as Sep 1863, while the date on his headstone is 1861. | SWIGER, Elias (I61468)
|
| 23011 | The 1900 Census indicates a marriage date of about 1869, but birth dates of their children make 1866 more likely, assuming they were married at all. No marriage record has been found. | Family: Benjamin Franklin JACO / Sarah TERRY (F39548)
|
| 23012 | The 1900 Census indicates that he immigrated in 1867. But Boston 1821-1850 Passenger and Immigration Lists states that he arrived at Boston from Liverpool (place of origin Ireland) on Jul 15 1850 aboard the ship Grampian. The 1900 Census shows that he was a naturalized citizen by that time. | MCGUIRE, Michael (I91182)
|
| 23013 | The 1900 Census listed her as living with her grandparents Abram & Sarah Gaston at Freeman Creek. | MUNDELL, Grace "Frankie" (I4384)
|
| 23014 | The 1900 Census lists Lizzie L. Charter, b. Feb 1883, as a child of Charles A. & Henrietta Charter. But Doddridge County birth records state that Elizabeth Charter, child of Athison & Henrietta, was born on Dec 9 1882. | CHARTER, Elizabeth L. "Lizzie" (I76951)
|
| 23015 | The 1900 Census of Calhoun County lists her birth date as Jan 1846. Her age was given as 15 in the 1860 Census. | CROSSLEY, Sarepta Jane (I10503)
|
| 23016 | The 1900 Census of Calhoun County showed Grant Husk as the head of household, his age 33, born in Aug (?) 1867 in West Virginia, marital status single, father born in West Virginia, mother born in Pennsylvania. In the same household was his mother, Dorcas, age 72, born Dec 1827 in Pennsylvania, mother of 12 children of which 8 were still living, both of her parents born in Pennsylvania. | HUSK, U. S. Grant (I818)
|
| 23017 | The 1900 Census of Doddridge County (Southwest District) does not include Myrtle as a member of the household of Elmore and Susan Leggett, but it does contain an entry for Lydie M. Leggett, age 4, born Nov 1895. The child is listed chronologically between brothers Goff and John D, and the possibility cannot be discounted that this is the same person. | LEGGETT, Myrtle (I22600)
|
| 23018 | The 1900 Census of sons David and Joseph indicated that their father was born at sea, and their mother in South Carolina. | ROSBOROUGH, Alexander II (I3356)
|
| 23019 | The 1900 Census record of son Felix sttates his mother's birthplace as Georgia, and his father's as unknown. | THOMPSON, Hannah (I100647)
|
| 23020 | The 1900 Census shows birth date as Dec 1852, while 1850 is given in his death record. But birth date on headstone is 1851. Marital status "widowed" in death record is presumed to be a clerical error. | CAIN, James A. (I50147)
|
| 23021 | The 1900 Census shows her birth date as April 1848, age 52. But her age in her marriage record would put birth in about 1849, the date on her headstone is 1850, and her death record states April 1850. | BENT, Malissa (I68024)
|
| 23022 | The 1900 Census shows her birth date as July 1868. Birth year 1886 on tombstone is clearly incorrect. | HILL, Jessie L. (I5795)
|
| 23023 | The 1900 Census shows his birth date as Aug 1865 in Pennsylvania, but his death record states Aug 9 1873 in Smithfield, Wetzel Co, WV. | MINER, Luther Phillip (I78925)
|
| 23024 | The 1900 Census states her age as 9, with birth date Apr 1891. But death record and SSDI show it as Apr 6 1890. | THOMAS, Ada (I66661)
|
| 23025 | The 1900 Census states his age as 28, born Aug 1872. But age 10 in 1880 Census, and age 26 in 1896 marriage record, would put birth in about 1870, and death record states birth date as Aug 12 1870. | SAMPLES, George Washington (I55767)
|
| 23026 | The 1900 Census states that they had been married for 42 years, putting their marriage in about 1858. However, they were in separate nearby households in the 1860 Census, with her surname given as Harphan. | Family: Eli B. TUCKER, Jr. / Charlotte E. HARPHAN (F21134)
|
| 23027 | The 1900 Census, in which she was listed as Omilia Stutler, gives her birth date as March 1887. But a delayed birth record filed by her brother Stephen in 1956 lists her as Iona May Stutler, the name by which she was known as an adult, and gives her birth date as March 12 1888. | STUTLER, Iona Mae "Ona" (I97981)
|
| 23028 | The 1901 birth date on her headstone is incorrect, base on marriage record, multiple census records, and the Social Security Death Index. She was in the 1900 Census, birth date February 1898. | WORKMAN, Haydee M. (I129593)
|
| 23029 | The 1910 Census gives her age as 20, two years younger than her sister Laura, and four years older than her sister Kate. | HILEY, Ollie Blanch (I63579)
|
| 23030 | The 1911 obituary of brother Samuel Morris Gaston gave the residence of Sarah Gaston Smith as Cassidy, Kansas. No city of that name is found in Kansas, so it is presumed that "Cassoday" was intended. | GASTON, Sarah (I1368)
|
| 23031 | The 1920 Census of the Frank Sweeney family included a child, Pearl B. Sweeney, whose age was given as 0/12 (under one month), but it did not include a child named Virginia despite her documented 24 December 1919 birth date. Since the enumeration date of that census was Jan 20 1920, the 0/12 age would reflect a birth date of late December, and since no other record of a child named Pearl has been found for this family, it would appear that Pearl was actually Virginia. | SWEENEY, Virginia Mae (I82320)
|
| 23032 | The 1923 City Directory for Clarksburg, WV, lists John L. Gaston, painter, and his wife Effie P. as residents of 640 S. 7th St. Separate entries for Ernest A. Gaston, painter, and Mary Gaston, stenographer, show their residences at that same address. Their relationships are not indicated. The entry for John Leolin Gaston's son George shows his residence as being nearby at 647 S. 7th St. 1900 Census, Marion Co, WV (city of Fairmont), enumerated in June 1900: John L. Gaston, 39, b. Sep 1860, insurance agent, married 11 yrs; wife Effie, 35, b. Sep 1864, mother of 4 children (3 still living); dau Opal, 9, b. Dec 1890; son Harley, 7, b. Mar 1893; son George, 4, b. Feb 1896; sister-in-law Mary Oliver, 30, b. Jul 1869, single. 1910 Census, Marion Co, WV (city of Fairmont), enumerated on Apr 21 1910: John L. Gaston, 49, painter, married 21 yrs; wife Effie B, 47, mother of 6 children (5 still living); dau Opal O, 19, stenographer in insurance office; son Harley L, 17, clerk in dry goods store; son George I, 14; dau Mary C, 7; son Earnest A, 5. 1920 Census, Harrison Co, WV (city of Clarksburg), enumerated on Feb 4 1920 at 963 West Pike Street: John L.

Gaston, 69, self-employed painter; wife Effie P, 68; dau Mary C, 26, single, assistant secretary at Chamber of Commerce; son Earnest A, 25, single, painter. | Family: John Leolin GASTON / Effie Pogue OLIVER (F625)
|
| 23033 | The 1956 City Directory of Salem, WV shows that Pierce Barber Shop was located at 110 W. Main Street. The proprietor was Merle Pierce, whose residence was at 271 W. Main Street. | PIERCE, Merle James "Snowball" (I9407)
|
| 23034 | The 26th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry, CSA, was formed in December 1864 by consolidating the 46th and 47th Battalions Virginia Cavalry. The unit served in W. L. Jackson's Brigade and was active in various conflicts in the Shenandoah Valley. It was disbanded during the spring of 1865. Lieutenant Colonel Joseph K. Kesler and Major Henry D. Ruffner were in command. | DOTSON, Marshall L. (I42359)
|
| 23035 | The 26th Regiment, Virginia Cavalry, CSA, was formed in December 1864 by consolidating the 46th and 47th Battalions Virginia Cavalry. The unit served in W. L. Jackson's Brigade and was active in various conflicts in the Shenandoah Valley. It was disbanded during the spring of 1865. Lieutenant Colonel Joseph K. Kesler and Major Henry D. Ruffner were in command. | DOTSON, Lemon (I56104)
|
| 23036 | The 3 children of Daniel & Phebe were: Josiah (1744-1825), Ann (1746), and Phebe (1748-1838). Daniel's surname was originally Davison, and in family records the name appears as Davison, Davisson and Davidson. Part of his estate was inherited by his son Josiah Davisson, and one document shows the spelling Davidson in the body but the signature is Josiah Davisson. | DAVISON, Daniel (I6615)
|
| 23037 | The 3038-acre Beaver Creek State Park is located at 12021 Echo Dell Road in East Liverpool, OH. The park area was established in 1945 with a gross average of a possible 20,000 acres. The nucleus of this park is Gaston's Mill, a 19th century grist mill. Thomas Whitacre built the mill in about 1837. The next owner was Philander Gaston who operated it longer than any other owner, hence the name. It operates on waterpower, is built almost entirely of wood and utilizes authentic mill stones. On weekends during the summer it grinds corn meal, whole wheat and buckwheat flour, which may be purchased at the mill. Gaston's Mill and the adjacent pioneer village especially come to life during the annual Pioneer Craft Days event held the first weekend in October. http://www.bchistory.org/beavercounty/BeaverCountyTopical/parks/StateParks/StateParksMSU90.html http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/parks/parks/beaverck.htm http://fpw.isoc.net/KREK/Columbiana_Gastons_Mill_Page.htm http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=31200187 | GASTON, Philander (I3541)
|
| 23038 | The 4 Feb 1850 birth date on her headstone is probably not correct. She was not present for the 1850 Census,enumerated in September, and her age in the 1870 Census was 19. | WILSON, Henrietta (I134842)
|
| 23039 | The 4 March 1864 birth date on his headstone and death record cannot be correct. He did not appear with his family in the 1870 Census, and age 9 in the 1880 Census and age 49 in 1920 put his birth in about 1871. Except for age 21 at his Dec 1891 marriage, his age varies widely in other records. | BOYCE, George Washington (I88960)
|
| 23040 | The 401st Engineers, Pontoon Park [Army troops], organized July 1918 at Camp Forrest, Georgia. Moved overseas Sep 1918. Returned to the U.S. in March 1919 and demobilized at Camp Meade, Maryland. Source: "The US Army in World War I - Orders of Battle," by Richard A. Rinaldi. https://books.google.com/books?id=vsoh_fBkAtwC&lpg=PA183&ots=2xbHJqOLsl&dq=World%20War%20I%2C%20401%20ST%20Engineers&pg=PA183#v=onepage&q=World%20War%20I,%20401%20ST%20Engineers&f=false | AHOUSE, Henry Francis (I26955)
|
| 23041 | The 8 children of Obadiah & Elizabeth Davisson were: Isaac (1746-1847), Daniel (ca 1748 - 1819), Hezekiah (d. 1797), Nathaniel (d. 1778), Josiah (1758-1838), Elizabeth (ca 1760 - ca 1795), Obadiah Jr. (1762-1825), and Mary. He settled at Davissons Run, near the West Fork at Clarksburg, WV. | DAVISSON, Obadiah (I6610)
|
| 23042 | The Abel Bond who married Sarah Powers on Nov 11 1811 was neither this Abel Bond nor his son Abel P. Bond. | BOND, Abel (I15532)
|
| 23043 | The ages and approximate birth years for the various members of this family are highly inconsistent from one census to another. Based strictly on the the two earliest census records, in 1850 and 1860, which appear to be the most reliable, Isaac and Matilda were born in about 1824/25 and 1830/31, respectively. 1850 Census, Doddridge County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on Sep 26 1850: Isaac Williams, 26, farmer, value of real estate (blank), cannot read/write; Matilda, 19; Augustus, 1. All born in Virginia. 1860 Census, Doddridge County, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumerated on June 1, 1860: Isaac Williams, 35, farmer, value of real estate (blank), value of personal estate $50, cannot read/write; M. (female), 30, cannot read/write; A. J. (male), 10; Silas, 8; Salina, 6; Jane, 4; M. E. (female), 1. All born in Virginia. 1870 Census, Wetzel County, West Virginia (Grant Twp), enumerated on Aug 17, 1870: Isaac Williams, 40, farmer, value of real estate $400, value of personal estate $300, cannot read/write; Matilda, 40, cannot read/write; Silas, 18, cannot read/write; Salina, 16, cannot read/write; Jane [sic], male [sic], 14; Mary, 10; Jessa 4. All born in Virginia/West Virginia. 1880 Census, Tyler County, West Virginia (McElroy District), enumerated on June 29, 1880: Isaac Williams, 54, farmer, cannot read/write, indicated as being "maimed, crippled, bedridden or otherwise disabled"; wife Matilda, 45; dau Cilinda, 15, cannot read/write; son Samuel, 14, works on farm, attended school within the year, cannot read/write; son Jessee, 10, works on farm; son William W, 8; son Perry C, 6; son Thornton, 3. Isaac Williams died in 1896, according to his Civil War Pension Index card. We have found no other record of his death or burial. 1900 Census, Doddridge County, West Virginia (Grant District), enumerated on June 5, 1900: Matilda Williams, 65, b. May 1835 in WVa (both parents b. Germany), farmer, cannot read/write, widowed, mother of 13 children (8 still living); son Jessie, 30, b. Mar 1870 in WVa, single, farm laborer, cannot read/write; son Thornton, 18, b. Sep 1881 in WVa, single, farm laborer, can read, cannot write. NOTE: Matilda's father and mother are known from other records to have been born in Pennsylvania and Monongalia County WVa, respectively. Son Thornton is known from other records to have been born in about 1877. He was age 3 in the 1880 Census. 1910 Census, Wetzel County, WV (Grant District), enumerated on May 3, 1910 in the village of Folsom: Matilda Williams, 79, widowed, pensioner, cannot read/write, mother of 13 children (4 still living); son Thornton, 25, single, farmer, cannot read/write; son Silas, 39, single, laborer at odd jobs, cannot read/write. 1920 Census, Wetzel County, WV (Grant District), enumerated on Feb 6, 1920: Matilda Williams, 81, widowed, cannot read/write; son Silas, 67, widowed, cannot read/write, laborer in lumber industry; son Thornton, 37, single, cannot read/write, laborer in oil industry. | Family: Isaac WILLIAMS / Matilda STARKEY (F59354)
|
| 23044 | The April 20 1846 birth date in his death record appear to be in error. The 1900 Census shows is as April 1847, and other census records also put it in about 1847 or 1848 | WARE, Francis Marion (I64604)
|
| 23045 | The Arnold M. Maddox family moved from Harrison Co, (W)VA to Fauquier Co, VA sometime in the 1860s, probably in concert with Mary Mildred's parents, Jeptha & Catherine Kerns Smith, for both families appeared on the 1870 Census for Fauquier County. The family subsequently moved briefly to Calhoun Co, WV, apparently in concert with Mary Mildred's parents, since both families appeared on the 1880 Census of Calhoun County. It also appears that Arnold Maddox died around this time, specifically between early 1878 and mid-1880, because his last child, William Jeptha, was born in Oct 1878 and Mary Mildred appeared as a widow on the 1880 Census. How long they stayed in Calhoun County in uncertain, but they definitely had returned to Fauquier County by lat 1886, as confirmed by the death records there of two of Mary Mildred's children. | MADDOX, Arnold M. (I1450)
|
| 23046 | The August 1913 obituary of Henry L. McClure stated that he was born in Armstrong County Pa, died in Donegal Pa at age 58, and was survived by "his mother, Mrs. Margaret McClure and these brothers and sisters: Thomas of Strait Settlements, India; J. A. McClure of Canada; W. K. McClure of Illinois; M. E. McClure of Potter County, Pa; Mrs. John McGinnis of Butler; and Mrs. M. E. Miller of Indiana, Pa." The wording makes it unclear whether Thomas McClure was residing at that time in India or in present-day Malaysia. Straits Settlements, former British crown colony on the Strait of Malacca, comprising four trade centres, Penang, Singapore, Malacca, and Labuan, established or taken over by the British East India Company. The British settlement at Penang was founded in 1786, at Singapore in 1819; Malacca, occupied by the British during the Napoleonic Wars, was transferred to the East India Company in 1824. The three territories were established as a crown colony in 1867. Labuan, which became part of Singapore Settlement in 1907, was constituted a fourth separate settlement in 1912. https://www.britannica.com/place/Straits-Settlements The Straits Settlements, comprising Penang, Malacca and Singapore, was an administrative unit of the East India Company (1826-1867) and later the British Colonial Office (1867-1946). It was formed in 1826 as a presidency under the administration of the East India Company in India. The Cocos-Keeling Islands, Christmas Island and Labuan were also briefly part of the Straits Settlements. Following the dissolution of the Straits Settlements in 1946, Singapore (together with the Cocos-Keeling and Christmas Islands) became a crown colony, Penang and Malacca were made part of the Malayan Union, while Labuan was incorporated into the North Borneo crown colony. https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/infopedia/articles/SIP_2014-07-30_084623.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straits_Settlements | MCCLURE, Thomas Harvey (I70580)
|
| 23047 | The birth date 1876 on John Ezra Miller's headstone is at variance with other records. His birth date is given in the 1900 Census as May 1884, age 16, which is consistent with age 18 given in his April 1901 marriage record and age 26 in the 1910 Census. But after that time, he consistently overstated his age. His stated age 40 in the 1920 Census would put his birth in about 1880, age 57 in the 1930 Census puts it in about 1873, and age 63 in the 1940 Census puts it in about 1877. In his 1918 World War I draft registration and in his 1934 marriage record, he stated his birth date at 7 May 1880. A newspaper account in May 1981 states that he was born on 7 May 1876 and was about to celebrate his 105th birthday. It appears, however, that the most accurate and plausible indication of his age was the 1900 Census, putting his birth date in May 1884 and his age at death in June 1981 at 97. In the 1900 Census and his 1901 marriage record, his name was given as John E. Miller. But beginning with the 1910 Census, his name appeared in records only as Ezra Miller. The matter of Ezra's parentage is not clear. His 1934 marriage record states his parents as Henry & Martha (Miller) Quinn, while the 1981 newspaper article identifies them as Henry & Martha (Miller) Gump. A birth record on file for him in Wetzel County appears to be a delayed entry filed many years after his birth. The record identifies him as James Ezra Quinn, born on 30 May 1884 in Folsom, son of George Quinn and Fannie Miller. We have found no other record of Ezra's mother being anyone other than Martha Miller, and there is no record of marriage between her and either a Quinn or a Gump or anyone else. Two men named Henry Quinn, one born in Ireland in 1828 and the other in West Virginia in about 1856, were residents of Wetzel County during the time in question. Most likely, Ezra was born out of wedlock, fathered by one of them. | MILLER, John Ezra (I35462)
|
| 23048 | The birth date for Alexander Britton is recorded in Doddridge County as Feb 21 1875, but his death record indicates that he died on Mar 24 1875 at age 1 day, while headstone shows both birth and death as Jun 24 1875. | BRITTON, Alexander W. (I1748)
|
| 23049 | The birth date in her Wetzel County birth record is 1 Nov 1910, which cannot be correct. She appeared in the 1910 Census, enumerated on 6 May 1910, with the handwritten entry appearing to state her age as 2 months or 4 months. Her death record and Social Secutiy records show her birth date as 20 Nov 1909. | CARSON, Violet Marie (I109449)
|
| 23050 | The birth date of Maney Dodd Goodwin is given in her Ohio death record as 20 July 1883, but the date on her grave marker is 1884. Age 5 in the 1910 Census makes the 1884 date more likely. But the death date 1950 on her grave marker is clearly incorrect, as her death record shows that she died on 12 April 1960. | DODD, Maney (Mamie) (I66643)
|
