  • Name Laverney Jane HUGHES
    Birth 31 Dec 1856  [1, 2, 3] 
    • Laverney Jane Hughes was born on Dec 31 1856, according to testimony provided by her mother in her Civil War widow's pension application. But her birth date was given in the 1900 Census as Jan 1858, while her death record states Dec 21 1857. Death record also gives birthplace as Greenbrier, W.Va., presumably referring to Greenbrier District in Doddridge County rather than Greenbrier County.
