Click on the 1st and 3rd camera icons to see John's entries in his father's Bible record. Several dates in the Bible were altered with a pencil; John's year of birth was changed from 1861 to 1864. John's sister Florence was born on Feb. 25, 1859, a date well established by other records. However, her birth was altered in the Bible to read 1862. This "adjusted" date then conflicted with the July 22, 1861 date of birth for John and may have led to that year being "adjusted" to 1864. Since the change in Florence's date is known to be inaccurate, I have used the original date of birth for John. John's year of death was similarily altered in the Bible, but again I have used the original date.
