General Notes: Husband - Joseph W. Hovis

---

The information concerning this man presented as given in the sources, but something seems amiss. He is listed as a son of his father's second wife, but if he was born in 1868, then he was born before the death of his father's first wife - in fact, before his father's *marriage* to his first wife.
Secondly, his daughter, Elda, born in 1876 - given in the source - cannot be correct if he was born in 1868.
