Person:Eliza Jackson (26)

Watchers
Facts and Events
Name Eliza Jane Jackson
Gender Female
Birth[1] Dec 1859 Polk, Jackson Co., Virginia (now West Virginia), United States
Death? 12 May 1860 Polk, Jackson Co., West Virginia, United States
Burial[2] Wheaton-McKinley Cemetery, Grant District, Jackson Co., West Virginia, United States

The book of Grant District cemetery gravestone transcription has d/o/d 1 May 1860, age 1m10d. This does not agree with the county death records. If this d/o/d and age at death is correct, Eliza's birth date calculates to 22 Mar 1860. I first used the county death records in this data base and calculated her birth date to be 12 Jan 1856. But later I found her birth record: December 1859 with no day given. See http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_view.aspx?Id=1825196&Type=Birth. "Elzae" Jackson is shown on the 2nd page; scroll to the right to see it.
