Notes
- The Hamrick Data Pages give the exact date of birth for Nancy McSwainHamrick, 1 October 1841. This is supported by the censuses of 1850and 1860, while some others are a year or so off. The Hamrickinformation, however, reports her birth state as North Carolina,additionally providing the location, Kings Creek, York County. Allthe censuses differ, reporting her birth state as North Carolina.
Her North Carolina Death Certificate also reports her death a yearlater than the census ages would seem to allow, 1 October 1842. Ihave seen other instances where the reported date of birth at the timeof death was a year off, even when provided by the family. The wrongyear of birth for one of my Gregory uncles was even wrong on hisgravestone. Her age at death on the certificate is 87 yrs, 11 mos, 4days. This means she would have been 88 on 1 October. This seems tomean a birth year of 1841, as the Hamrick genealogy indicates, eventhough the year is reported on the certificate as 1842.
The certificate additionally reports the sate of birth as NorthCarolina, rather than South Carolina,. This means the deathcertificate joins all the censuses to put the great weight oftestimony behind North Carolina as state of birth, except the error inthe reported year of birth might seem to detract from the accuracy ofthe death certificate.
