Warren Green Devault ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}

  General Notes:

Official birth records for Warren seem to support a birth date of 24 Nov 1861 (Ancestry.com database "West Virginia Births, 1853-1930", https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F1YF-DLK : 10 March 2018). But his age as reported for the 1870, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 US Census records all support a birth date of in Sep 1860. Even his gravestone indicates a birth year of 1860.

But his death record incorrectly has his birth date as 21 September 1870, a date which would be impossible because he was enumerated for the 1870 US Census prior to that date and that census record showed him as 9 years old living with his parents.
