His death certificate records Jack Goldie, age 76 years 8 months 26 days, birthdate blank, born in Virginia, died 1 May 1938 in Salt Lick, Bath Co., Ky, farmer, widowed, father Henry Goldie, born in Virginia, mother’s name and birthplace don’t know, cause of death chronic interstitial nephritis, informant John Goldie, Salt Lick, Ky, burial in Purvis Cem.

The reported age at death would imply a birthdate of 6 Aug 1861. It is incorrect; he was listed in the 1860 census as age 4.

1900 census of Bath Co., Ky, White Sulphur precinct, enumerated 18 June, lists on p. 17A as family #322:
Golda, Jackson, 35, b. Sep 1864, farmer; Lizzie, wife, 34, b. June 1865, married 10 years, mother of 6 children, 4 living; Alfred, son, 16, b. Jan 1884; Albert, son, 15, b. Jan 1884; Carrie, dau, 13, b. Sep 1887; Henry, son, 8, b. April 1892; Sheley, son, 4, b. Nov 1895; Lesley, son, 2, b. Feb 1898; Marry J., stepdau, 10, b. Aug 1899; Golda, Joseph, nephew, 21, b. June 1879. All born Ky Ky Ky.

The age for Jackson is entered as 44, and then crossed out and replaced with 35 to be consistent with the birthdate. Since the 1910 census (see notes for his second marriage) lists Jackson as 56, it is very probably the birthdate that was wrong, rather than the age.
