Notes for Jesse K. Eggers
Jesse’s census records as an adult are consistent in reporting that he was born in Kansas, but the 1900 census where he appeared with his parents gave his birthplace as Indiana, and his parents were in Putnam Co., Indiana in the 1880 census as well. Perhaps they briefly moved to Kansas during the 1880’s or 1890’s, and then back to Indiana.
Notes for Jesse K. & Lou Allen (Family)
Putnam Co., Indiana marriage book 12, p. 516, records the marriage on 7 Nov 1907 of Jesse K. Eggers, age 23, born 5 Mar 1884, to Lou Allen Stanton, age 23, born 5 Dec 1884.
(This conflicts with the 1900 census, which lists Lou as age 16, born Dec 1883.)
