      Roane County Birth Records show Luverna Elizabeth born 8/4/1908 but she is 4 in the 1910 census and 14 in 1920, which indicates she was born in 1905. The same is true for Mary, who was 2 and 12 in 1910 and 1920 and whose birth record shows she was born 10/22/1913. Fanny was 6 and 16 and birth record shows 5/30/1904. Other birth records for Joseph and Luvernia:
      female 3/19/1889 [duplicate for Martha] child #6

      male 1/21/1895 premature stillborn
      male 5/26/1903 [although marked as male, this could be Elsie]
      J.B. male is reported as being born 10/8/1890 and 10/8/1891, first reported on 10/15/1890, child #7, so two more children were born before Martha
