RESPONSE: Here is John WAGERS as of 1870 Clay Co. Dwelling 74 WAGERS, John, 20, work on farm . .Josephine, 30, (Josephine STEWART per vital records) CORRECTION for you!! I found this entry in the Clay Co. Vital Stats for births which matches the names on your death cert.. WAGES, Julius Birthdate: 8-6-1876 Birthplace: Clay Co., KY Father: Johny WAGES Birthplace: Clay Co., KY Mother: Josafin STEWART Birthplace: Clay Co., KY Residence: Clay Co., KY Assuming this information on the birthdate is accurate for August 1876 and assuming John WAGERS second marriage to a Jane HOLLIN took place in November 1876 per records, perhaps Josaphine STEWART died with the birth of this child and he quickly remarried another woman. It also means that the age of 3 years given for Julius in the 1880 would be abt. right because he would have been a little less than 4 years of age at the time of the probable census.
