Research Notes

Geraldine Moultrie of Los Angeles, the informant for Ella's Death Certificate, may have been a daughter or a sister.

Could Geraldine Moultrie, or the typist, have gotten the date of birth incorrect? There is an Ella Zollicoffer, age 3, in the 1870 Pleasant Zollicoffer household. This is a thirteen year discrepancy. Need to find a few more Census records.

Death record for Will Zollicoffer says he was born 6 Feb 1880

Death Record for sister Ella (Zollicoffer) White says she was born 12 Sep 1880.

Same parents and location - so they are siblings. One of these is clearly wrong, but which?
