      Identified as Absalom Hileman, b. Feb 6 1842 in Monongalia Co; and Rebecca E. Heldreth, b. Feb 22 1849 in Marion Co. Married Feb 26 1884 at residence of Daniel Heldreth. Absalom's birth data is at variance with his birthdate reported elsewhere, Jun 12 1840 in Preston Co. But immediate family, namely the authors of "Hileman Genealogy," state that this is the same Absalom Hileman.
