Notes for Ellender Delong
Floyd Co. Virginia death records list Ellender Slusher died 6 Sep 1884 of kidney disease, age 65 years 2 months 8 days, parents Ormond & S. Delong.
The recorded age at death implies a birthdate of 28 June 1819, but her age in the censuses suggests a birthdate in 1815 to 1818. Ages are usually more accurate in records earlier in life, so I am entering her birthdate as 1817 with a question mark.
