* There is a birth record for a daughter to George and Lucinda named Julia born 4 Jun 1897 in Eden, Calhoun County, and there is a request for a birth certificate for Janet; born 2 Jun 1897. I believe they are the same child and somewhere the dates were mixed up. It wasn't uncommon for the birth record to have a different, but similar name than what the child went by. Maybe the parents were misunderstood when the record was taken, or they changed their minds and didn't bother with the legality of changing the name. Whatever the case, it seems to happen more often in this time period than would now. The birth record for Julia states she was the 5th birth for Lucinda. This falls in line with the 1900 census record of 6 births, 5 surviving.
