FHL Film Number: 593538
Birth:
Death certificate gives POB as McDowell Co. WV, but at the time of his birth, it was in Tazewell Co. VA
His marriage certificate indicates he was 20 years old at the time of his marriage, the 1900 census has his DOB as Apr 1850 while his appears on the 1850 census as being 2 years old. So his year of birth more than likely is around 1848 which is more in line with the information on his marriage record.
