  • Notes 
    • Noel's death certificate says his mother was Mary Elizabeth Wilson. Mary's death certificate says her father's name was Wilkerson. Nettie's death certificate simply says Mollie. I didn't find anything that says Pollock. It's possible that she was previously married. There is a C Wilkerson in Bienville Parish in 1870 who has a daughter named Mary E, born circa 1854, AL.
      At the end of 1922, she claimed to be 75, making her born in '47 unless she was anticipating her next birthday, making it '48. On census records, she is 29, 51, 62, 72 and 82. Her death certificate gives 1859 but I believe 1848 is probably correct.

      The age is given as either 75 or 85, one is written over the other. It was probably originally 75 but changed and the birth date wasn't altered. The year is incorrect.
