I do not have a DOB for him, and the only estimation I have for this info is from his son's birth certificate, which appears to be incorrect. On the birth certificate, he is listed as being eight years younger than his wife, and my grandfather believes this is wrong. If HIS age is listed correctly, James would have been born in 1893. If HER age is listed correctly, his DOB would be closer to 1875, give or take a few years. I know he married an Augusta Rhodermond/Rodermond/Rodermund in the Saint Louis area. >> Have you checked census records for possible ages? Ellie S.
