David Larimer1
b. circa 1851, d. between January 1858 and January 1860
BirthCirca | circa 1851 | David Larimer was born in Washington County, Virginia, circa 1851.1 |
Death | between Jan 1858 and Jan 1860 | David died of scarlet fever between Jan 1858 and Jan 1860. The Washington County death records (sometimes not carefully kept) report the date as January 1858. However his death was also entered on the 1860 Federal Census Mortality Schedule. Assuming the instructions were followed (include death information for 12 months ending June 1, 1860) David died in Jan. 1860. But the census instructions were often interpreted more loosely - to mean anyone who died the previous calendar year, in which case David may have died in Jan. 1859.2,1 |
