bullet General Notes:

Jessie was enumerated twice in the 1900 census. The first time was while she was visiting or living with her married sister, Loretta, in Linn County, Missouri. The second time was only 5 days later while she was with her parents in Labette County, Kansas, a distance of about 300 miles.
--------------------------------

Jessie's age was reported inconsistently, usually several years younger than her actual age. On her marriage license, she indicated a birth year of 1883 which would be impossible because she was listed on the 1880 US Census. On the 1900 census she indicated another impossible birth year of 1881. On the 1910 census when she was married, she indicated an age which equated to a birth year of 1882. On both the 1930 and 1940 census she indicated a birth year of 1883. On her gravestone, her birth is given as 9 Aug 1880 but one must remember that gravestone dates are always provided by surviving relatives and not the person who died.

The only date that seems plausible with her first census in 1880 would be the 29 Aug 1879 date offered by researchers Jeanette Marie Pitts-Burr and David Gardiner. Jeanette Marie Pitts-Burr is a great aunt to Jessie Gertrude Stover so perhaps there is some family information which provided the birth date of 29 Aug 1879. Jeanette's information was posted to a FamilyTreeMaker web site in 2002.
