Note: There are three graves adjacent to Moses N Morrison. They may have been bought for his wife Mary and son Robert. He had another son William, but I do not know what happened to him.

Note: Headstone is wrong. Not born in 1857, but rather in the first quarter of 1855 (Google FreeBMD). When I find his birth certificate, I will be more specific. The 1900 Census reads born Jan 1857. The 1910 Census reads born 1857. The 1920 Census reads born 1855. If we knew the informants, the difference in dates might make sense. It could be that he was christened in 1857, a more likely scenario.

Note:1920-34=1886 does not square with 1900, 1930 and 1940 Censuses born 1884, but I am inclined to think this is a mistake made by Henry the informant who guessed Mary's age.

Note: In my family there are several cases where the given middle name is later changed to the maiden name. E.g., Mary E Ladd is changed to Mary L (Ladd) Walker.
