  • Name Arlington THOMAS
    Birth 13 Jan 1881  Doddridge Co, WV Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] 
    • Birth record states birth date as Dec 17 1881. But his WW I and WW II draft registration show it as Jan 13 1881, and the 1900 Census also has it as January 1881. His headstone has only the year 1881. It is noted that the birth record is typewritten ledger whose entrises were transcribed from the original handwritten records. Considering the consistency of the January date, it is likely that the December date was the result of a transcription error.
