Some online sources list a birth date of 1845 and a mother of Elizabeth Lincoln (who died in 1848). However, the 1900 census shows a birthdate of July 1850, and a living mother in the household. NOTE: Sherry Wells: from my research, I believe these are two different men with the same name.

Another thing you could add is that the Mary Floyd who married to William Denton was actually Mary Eliza Floyd, Mahala's younger sister. So Mary's parents are also Alexander Floyd (1814-1880) and Frances Boston (1815-1869), and her own dates are 1853-1886.

William was the son of Isom Denton and Elizabeth Lincoln. He married Mary Eliza Floyd (b.1853-d.1886) and after Mary passed away he married Rebecca Agan (d.1937). Children by Mary include daughters Ada and Minnie, and son Walter. Daughter Mayme (Mamie) was born in 1886, unclear if Mary or Rebecca is the mother, but this is the year that Mary died. Children by Rebecca include Joseph, Stella, and Benjamin. Some records also list a son Charles F, who along with Stella, died in infancy.
