  *1900 - Death for Noah Wilmoth is given as Mar 8, 1900, Barbour Co., WV.  HOWEVER.....There is no proof.  WV records do not have his death recorded.  There is no cemetery or grave marker with his burial.  A bunch of family trees have copied the following information:

Family Data Collection - Individual Records

Death: 08 MAR 1900 • Randolph, Charlotte, Virginia, USA

Details: Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #1298, Date of Import: Oct 31, 1998, Age: 81

Hmmm....ok, I guess this is someone's family tree???  Whose?  Who are they in relation to the decedent?  Where did they get the information?? 

Of note is the death location.  Anyone who is doing work with families in WV know that WV was VA until the Civil War.  Randolph Co., in VA became Randolph Co., in WV.  Only an amateur, not familiar with this family, would list Randolph, Charlotte Co., VA as the place of death.  This family was no where near Randolph, VA.  They lived in Randolph or Barbour County, WV.  Just this alone, makes the information suspect.

What is known is that Noah and his second wife Bethiah do not appear in the 1900 Census.  So yes, one can assume they died before the 1900 Census was taken.

  Dowden Harry Wilmoth - b. Apr 1, 1890, WV ; d. Nov 16, 1914, El Paso, El Paso Co., TX.  Death certificate says Evergreen and according to the ledger, he is in fact at Evergreen Alameda, El Paso, El Paso Co., TX.  Section L, Lot 42, Place 1.  Obit incorrectly says Concordia.

What does not make sense about this birth is the date of father William Riley Wilmoth's death. If he died May 1889 and Dowden was born Apr 1890, William Riley Wilmoth could not be his father.  There is no way Dowden could have been born 11 months after his father's death.  The death record for Riley Wilmoth, son of Noah and Mary aka Polly clearly has May 3, 1889.  If it was actually 1890, then it would work.  For Dowden, the birth record clearly has Apr 1, 1890 with his mother's name and no name given in father's name space. This tells me that William Riley Wilmoth was in fact deceased.  Therefore, one can only assume that Mary was with someone about July 1889 when Dowden was conceived.
