Debbie, I see that Jackson had a death record but none for Matilda. Is that date on her tombstone or was it left off? Thanks, Henny Debbie, Jackson was born in Virginia Jul 22, 1813 and died Raccoon Township Aug 31, 1888 of consumption. He is buried at Gilboa Cemetery. Matilda was born Greenbrier County Virginia Jun 10, 1813 and died May 7, 1883 in Raccoon Township. She is buried at Gilboa. Debbie ]

Henny, Since Matilda was on the 1880 Census enumeration I believe there was a typo on the Gilboa Cemetery transcription. Sometimes 5's do look like 8's. When I was there at Gilboa a few years ago with Leah, many tombstones were piled up in one big heap.

I belieive that Milley's gravestone should read "Milley d May 7, 1883 70" instead of "Milley d May 7, 1853 65". My reasons are stated below Jerry Deckard Summary of Matilda (Milley) EAGLE - 16 May 2008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Matilda (Milley) EAGLE Sex: Female Father: George V.

HUGHES (1849 - ) Metelecei HUGHES (1852 - ) Leander HUGHES ( - ) Mary HUGHES ( - ) Learha HUGHES ( - ) Notes (Individual) Death (7 May 1883): d. Graveston shows: Matilda Hughes w/o J. b. June 10 1813 "Milley d May 7, 1853 65. "Here sleeps, the mother of four sweet little babies at her feet".It could be that Milley's date should read May 7, 1883. I beleve that the gravestone is in error and should read: "Milley d. May 7, 1883 70 years" in light of the fact that she was identified in the 1880 Census as being 67. If she died in 1883, at the age of 70, this would also confirm her birth date as being in 1813 - Gerald Deckard d.
