Notes for Floyd Allen Cox
He was recorded as age 7 months in the 1860 census, which had an official basis date for ages as of June 1. His age in the 1870 and 1880 censuses is suggestive of a birthdate in 1858 or late 1857 (12 in 1870, 22 in 1880.) The 1900 census said Sep 1859, which is likely to be the correct date, since reporting a 2 year old as age 7 months would be very unusual, while reporting a 10 year old as age 12 is not.
His gravestone gives his birthdate as Sep 16, 1860, which cannot be right since he was recorded at a visit taken in July.
His reported birthplace also varies. The 1880 and later censuses reported it as Ohio, but the 1860 and 1870 censuses reported it as Virginia.
