Hi,
You can't always go be the years. My greatgrandmother Indiana Jenkins death record
says she was born in 1858 but she was born in 1846. So want you have to do is send for the
death record and see who gave the info on his death and if it is someone you have in your
family line are if it has his wife as Carrie. People who give info on the death records
doesn't always have the info right. Just like when my mother died I gave her dads name
as Lee Casteel but it is Levi Casteel and my Aunts death record has him as Levi Elliott
but Elliott was their mothers last name.
Look up Hopkins County Cleak of Court and see if they have a online order for records.
If not it should tell you where you have to send for them.
I was born in Indiana, and right now I'm tring to find out info on My grandmothers
side of the family there. She was born in English,Crawford County.I have always known her
name to be Ida Jane Elliott but everything is looking like her name was Eliza Jane
Elliott.
I know that Bernard Castile's mother was Lou Blouchard it has it on the Kentucky
birth records he was born 2/14/1917 in Hopkins County.
It also has 2 other kids by her born in Hopkins County.
Dudeaner Castile born 8/22/1922
Ruby Castile Born 2/21/1926.
