Hazelgreen, Ritchie Co, WV  [1, 2] |
- His birthplace is given in his obituary and in "History of Doddridge County" (1979), p. 251, as Lawford, Ritchie County. But his birth record shows it as Hazelgreen, Ritchie County (father's birthplace Lawford, mother's birthplace Goffs). His marriage record indicates his birthplace as Tyler County, clearly incorrect.
