Freeman Liberty Travis ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10}

  General Notes:

The birth record for Freeman indicates a birth year of 1869 but his death record indicates a birth year of 1877. The death record also indicates an age at death of 79 years which calculates out to a birth year of 1869. This means that the death record's birth year of 1877 must be in error and that the correct birth year is 1869.
