Notes - Per Donna, Jim was a very small boy when his father went off to war and never returned. (Donna's e-mail 11/2009 dj2041@centurytel.net)
1910 Henderson Co., census Dist 1 on King Rd
1920 Henderson Co., TN,
SINGLETON, Jim 56; (William is crossed out); Sarah 24 (married but her name is still SINGLETON); James W. H. 17 (this must be William Perry)
His death certificate says was born 1864. His tombstone says 29 February 1862 but since this wasn't a leap year, there was no 29th that year. However, 1864 was a leap year.
Is this the same as the one living with brother Robert H. SINGLETON in 1880 and is it the same as the son of Leonard for whom Edmond T. GAWF became guardian?
