Notes for Amanda E. Sutphin
Her gravestone lists "Mandy E. Quesenberry, Nov 12, 1866 - Feb 18, 1902". But Floyd County birth records13 list no female Sutphins born in 1866. In the records for 1867 there is an entry for Manda Sutphin, born 9-8, father Riley, mother Sarah. I believe this is the record of Amanda's birth. A birthdate in late 1867 is also more consistent with the 1890 census reading, where she is listed as age 22. However, the "9-8" is probably a transcriber's error, since survivors often get the deceased's age/birth year wrong, but seldom make an error of more than one day in the day/month. The birth record immediately below that for Manda Sutphin is for a Josephine Sledd, also listed as born "9-8". What I imagine happened is that either the original clerk or Marjorie Flour copied down the date for Josephine's birth twice.
