  • Notes: 

  • William Pemberton's birth year is given as 1859 on his death certificate, and 1860 on his tombstone. The 1860 federal census would indicate that the 1859 year is correct as he appears as age 1. If he was born in 1860, his age should appear as 1/12 similar to that of a neighbor appearing on the same page above his entry.
