(The census record indicate that Arther and Eva were grandchildren of Christian and Annie, but this is apparently an error since their grandparents are known to be Francis Marion and Mary Margaret Whitter. [12] Probably Christian would be a close relative of some kind--perhaps a great uncle?)

[169] gives birth as Dec 1899, but that would be inconsistent with the birthdate given for his sister of May 1900. Presumably Arthur must have been born earlier, unless perhaps one of them was adopted.

He had lived in Moank, CT for several years until shortly before his death. [386]
