Biography

Discrepancy in place of birth, 1870 census shows birthplace to be new york while michigan death record shows birthplace to be michigan-see image.[1]

Michigan find a grave index 1805-2012 contradicts date of birth with date of birth shown in the 1870 US census. The headstone for Minerva Ryan German shows her to be 40 years old at time of death in 1877, therefore birth year would be 1836 and not 1831. [2]
