Notes |
- BIRTH: Note that three different dates are recorded for John. His naturalization papers list 24 Dec 1880 but the 1900 census lists July 1877. Based on the order of children listed in the census and their ages, I believe that the census might be the more accurate. Also, his sister is listed as being born in 1880. Lastly, his WWI draft registration shows 24 Dec 1879.
