Remarks on the above Table

Claude said he was 6 when Cora; he remembered them holding him up so he could see and he remembered her Adam's apple (throat) moving some.
THERE ARE STILL MANY PROBLEMS IN ABOVE TABLE. These are mainly of the MCT = Milltown Cemetery Tomestones giving a different date than Bible of James Eddleman.

Comments on the Above Census Report

Notice the error in second line. It says father of Francis Marion was born in NC, but IN is correct as shown line 8 where James, father of Francis, says James was born in Indiana.
