Her death certificate states a birth date of Feb 1869; however, she was not yet born as of the 1870 Census of Giles County. Only John Frelin's sons, John Thomas and Blooming Casey were born as of that census. Considering that Mollie is listed on the 1880 Census as being 9 years old, I have her birth date listed as 10 Feb 1871. I really appreciate the information, especially pertaining to Molly's two previous marriages. Regarding Frank Johnson, I have often wondered if the five-year old, living as a boarder of Thomas Howell/Nowell, on the 1900 Census of Hunt County, TX, is my Frank Johnson, but I have not been able to verify where he was in 1900. By the way, I have John Frelin's death as 10 Feb 1923 in Randolph, Fannin County, TX. I received a copy of his Confederate pension application from the Texas State Archives, and the whole packet contained numerous other bits of information, including hand-written notes from John Fr! elin and his son, John Thomas. I got John Frelin's death date from the packet. I will appreciate receiving any additional information on this Birdwell line. Thanks, again.
