  • Notes 
    • 1900 census gives her birth as Sept. 1848, if the marriage date is correct, she would have been 9 years old... On the 1900 census, it says married, 50 years. That would mean she got married at age 2. Death certificate give 1840 as year of birth. There is also a 3 year old grandson, Roy Washington, living with this family in 1900. Daughter Mary was probably the mother of this child, altho I don't know where she was in 1900. The note for children on 1900 census says 7 children born, 5 alive. I know of 6 children, and can account for 2 of them dead before 1900. This does not account for Mary or the grandchild living with them.
      1880 census gives more correct birth year.
