Gravestone of John Wesley Elizabeth Green and Foster
Mountain Grove Cemetery, Loco, Stephens County, Oklahoma
"Foster John Wesley Apr 1854 1901 Elizabeth May 1858 May 9, 1911"
Note that the 1860 census above reports that Elizabeth was 6 yeaars old at that time, making birth about 1854. But her grave reports her birth date as May 1858. We can see from the 1900 census above that that is the source of this birth dat.e Unfortunately, probably half of the birth dates reproted inthat census were wrong, judging form my general but non-statistical experience. I would think the 1860census wsas more acurate. No birth record is available.
