Notes for Eli “Neri” Quesenberry
Floyd Co. Birth Records list Eli & Adda Quesenberry, twins, b. 8-28-1867, father: Preston, occ: farmer, mother: Elizabeth.
The 1880 census, however, shows the twins’ names as Neri and Adi, and the 1910 census also has Neri as head of household. I do not know if this represents a first and middle name, or a change of name after birth, or a mistake in the birth record.
