    Note that the children have all the same birth states as their parents.  Thus we can discount the reliability of this census for birth place info.  It reports Weldon's mother Rosly as born in North Carolina, but on Weldon's repord it says his mother was born in SC.

    James' date of birth reported on his death certificate is 10 June 1886.  But he reported to Social Security the same  date in 1884.  This is also the date reported in his burial memorial, and the 1900 census.
