Well, I was wrong about his age in the 1860 census - it was given as 36, not 26 (wife was only 24), so that would be ca 1824. That's awfully close to "almost 67", which is what that death record you found says. The other issue is that, as far as I could tell from census records for Isaac and his first wife, they had no children. When he married Margaret Lucinda, it's entirely possible that, by time he died, nobody knew exactly just how old he was. I've checked FamilySearch until I'm blue in the face for a death record for Margaret and/or Lucinda Baker or Roman, and I can't find anything. The last I knew, she was living in Lawrence County next door to her brother. I can't find her in the 1910 census, so I think she died before the death records went to the state. Hers might be in Lawrence County. Fox-Fairview Cemetery is where a couple of other members of her family are buried, though, and her Wilson siblings moved back and forth between Gallia and Lawrence counties so often that it drives me to drink. With the exception of Isaac's age being a couple of years off, doesn't it look as though everything else is lining up pretty well? It does to me, but, of course, I'd like this torture to be over. :) Henny Evans wrote: > I should have looked before I asked. Isaac Roman died 7 Jul 1894 aged 66y 10m 7d But that makes him turning 67 that year so he would have been born about 1827 so who is he? No death record for Lucinda through 1916.
