    Notes 

    • I did find this marriage that fits in with Philip David's (born 1819) birth, and the fact that he had Hannah living with him in 1850 and Catherine had her with her even longer.

      Marriage Record
      Date: 12 Mar 1818
      Place: Lewis County, West Virginia
      David Cox
      Hannah Elich dau of John Mitchell
      Her name on this marriage record is hard to decipher. Looks more like Eacih.
      [widow of John Eslick, who was a brother of Elizabeth, David's first wife]

      This 1820 fits OK.

      But this 1840 doesn't fit so well. Phillip is not here - although at 21 he may have been elsewhere, but Hannah is in the wrong box - could be a mistake.
