       Buried: 




Notes: Marriage (Mary Charlotte Bennett):

Although their daughter Emma's tombstone supposedly says that she was born July 11, 1850, and her obituary, in agreement, says that she was 80 years and 1-day, but still, there is disagreement with the 1850 census that seems very clearly against a Jul 1850 birth for Emma. It is more probably that she was born 1851 or 1852 because her father is still single and listed in the household of his parents in the 1850 census that was dated August 2, 1850. Thus, if Emma was born July 1850, then she was born out of wedlock; that is possible, but more unlikely because her grandfather was a preacher, and because of the times, that would seem very unlikely, but still possible.
