Birth17 Jan 1890 Emma Virginia Maiden was probably born on either the 11th or the 17th of Jan. 1890 in Washington County, Virginia, although there is a good deal of confusion surrounding the date. The 1900 census, though difficult to read, appears to use Jan. 1890 which is consistent with family records which use both the 11th and the 17th of Jan. 1890. However 2 entries for Emma appear in the abstracted Washington County birth records, one for 11 Feb. 1890 and another for 17 Feb. 1891. Her headstone uses 11 Jan. 1890.4,5,2,6,7,8
