Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Gideon M. FLINT
    Birth May 1859  Harrison Co, (W)VA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    • The birth date on his headstone appears to be 15 May 1854, with age at death 32y 4m 7d calculating to a birth date of 28 Apr 1854. But that age and the 1854 birth year cannot be correct, since he was age 1 in the 1860 Census and age 11 in the 1870 Census, and age 21 in the 1880 Census. Age 24 in his September 1883 marriage record also puts his birth in 1859.
