Woodfell Cemetery, Jackson Co, WV [4] |
| Notes |
- He does not appear until the 1870 census, age 20, so he could have been missed in 1860. His dob in 1900 is Oct 1846, but if brother was born in Mar 1846, that's a little hard to believe. He was 21 when he married in Oct 1871, so I think it's more likely he was born in Oct 1850, missing the 1850 census and left off the messy 1860 census.Cemetery record shows birth as 1850.
