Harry C. SEAGRAVES

Male 1878 - 1917  (39 years)


Personal Information    |    Sources    |    Event Map    |    All

  • Name Harry C. SEAGRAVES  [1, 2, 3] 
    • only 2 sources show a middle initial (C.) for Harry:
      The 1880 census for Lawrence County, KY lists him as Hary C. Sagraves, age 2, born in KY.
      Michigan Marriage Records, 1867-1952 for his marriage to Edith P. Burtch on 29 Oct 1899, lists him as Harry C. Segraves, born about 1877 in KY.
      We believe that is sufficient to give his name as Harry C. [1, 2]
    Birth 8 Jun 1878  Lawrence County, Kentucky Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7] 
    • Harry's date of birth varies among several sources:
      Findagrave.com specifies 8 Jun 1878 with no location cited.
      The 1900 census for Charlevoix County, Michigan gives his birth as Jun 1877 in Kentucky.
      The 1880 census for Lawrence County, Kentucky shows him born in 1878 in Kentucky.
      Michigan Marriage Records, 1867-1952 says he was born about 1877 in Kentucky.
      Ohio County Marriage Records, 1774-1993 says he was born about 1879.
      We interpret all this as justifying 8 Jun as the day and month, with the probable year being 1877. Given that all sources seem to agree he was born in Kentucky, and his parents were married in Lawrence County in 1868 and on the census there in 1880, it is very likely that he was born in that county. So, we have selected a birth date of 8 Jun 1877 in Lawrence County, Kentucky. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
