*George's tombstone erroneously gives his birth date as 11 DEC 1880. The 1880 census for Franklin Co., MS shows G. B. Whittington, born OCT 1879. His WWI draft card gives his birth date as 11 DEC 1879.

**This date of birth is from Laura's tombstone inscription. Her age is listed as 25 in the 1910 census and as 35 in the 1920 census, which suggests that she was born about 1884. Her SSDI record gives her birthdate as 12 DEC 1885.
