Research Notes (Conflicts/Spelling/Followup)

CONFLICTS

Birth Date: This database uses 25 Dec 1849. Using his age (10/12 [10 months]) on the official 1850 census date of 1 June 1850 gives a birth date range from 2 July 1849 to 1 August 1849. [census-us-1850-ps-oh-morgan-marion-157b]

SPELLING

Surname: This database uses Maris. The 1860 census uses Marris. [census-us-1860-ps-oh-morgan-marion-106]

FOLLOWUP

Thomas married (10 Jul 1878) M. C. Carothers. [book-maris-family-in-the-us-1885]

Thomas married Margarett Lolcott (19 Sep 1899). Although Thomas was 49 at the time of the wedding, the registry notes his age at his *next* birthday, confusing as that is. (from the Ancestry.com database, "U.S., Marriage Records, 1880-1951" on the path "⟩ 1899 ⟩ 397 (Adair - Guthrie)", see image 579, entry 3, page 39-569.)
