Born: 1870 [1 Jan 1880] - Note: Death certicate shows Jessie as age 56 years, 1 month, and 28 days with a birth date of 1/1/1880. Someone has written over the 5 in 56 and made it look like 66. The person who recorded the d.c. accepted the 66 which would return a birth date of 1/1/1870 and that is the date that is entered as "born" on the death index--not the actual death certificate.

In any event, Jessie Ray was not born in 1870 as the tombstone shows he was. His actual birth date is most likely 12/1879 as shown in the 1880 Horry Co., SC Census, the first census after he was born.
