  • Name Wilbur Martin Avery BROWN
    Birth 11 Sep 1880  Pleasantville, Venango Co, PA Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2] 
    • The 11 Sep 1880 birth date on his headstone appears to be incorrect. Age 28 in his Feb 1903 marriage record would put his birth in about 1874 or 1875, and age 35 in the 1910 Census puts in in about 1875. His World War I draft registration in 1918 shows his birth date as 11 Sep 1873, age 45, while his World War II draft registration in 1942 shows it as 11 Sep 1887, age 55.
