Notes

  • Oscar was reported int eh 1865 New Yourstate census.  His age was reported as 7 months.  This would make his biorth about October 1864.  The 1900 census reported his birth date as September 1867, which is obviously wrong.  The 1900 census is often wrong for some reason.  Perhaps that month of Septemebr is correct for some reason.  It is unclear what the actual official census date was.  In 1865, the Lewis household was enumerated as house 7 on page 1 on 5 June 1865.
