Name |
Jacob W. Sperry |
Born |
31 Jan 1859 |
Blaine, Lawrence Co, KY |
- Fact 1 - Jacob's death record gives his birth date as February 29, 1858.
Fact 2 - His birth year and age indicated in censuses is 1859.
Fact 3 - His birth record gives January 31 with no year indicated on the page.People transcribing from the 17-page set of records identified as 1857 have understandably believed that this January date was in 1857. However, "1857" appears only on the first six pages of that set. At the bottom of page 6, the county clerk signs off on the "foregoing", dated 29 June 1858. This must indicate that the "following" pages would be 1858 or later. Jacob's January birth listed after the clerk signing off would be in 1859. Apparently, Jacob believed he was born in February; however, this may have come from a record of a baptism or christening.
