    The delayed birth record was issued on the basis of the stated documents giving her birth date.  The year of birth on her Social Security records is 1888 instead of 1885.  None was the 1900 census, which we have reason to doubt.  No visual of the family Bible is available for verification of exactly what was reported.  Two affidavits report presence at or awareness of her birth at the time of the birth.  But memories of dates are in that era often vague.

    The entry for Harriet in 1900 looks like Harriet B, but her middle name was Rachel, so perhaps the enumerator meant it as an R.  In 1910 Harriet is reported as Minnie.  Minnie matches the child Harriet B (Harret B), but is reported as only 6 years older than Harriet.  In fact, every person in the household aged only 4-6 years old,
