H. M. Chitwood was my father. Chevis was the younger of the three daughters.

That's part of the story that doesn't seem to match what I'd heard from family--another caution to watch out for taking all family stories at face value.<br /><br />If the birth date is off, I'd be most likely to suspect Cassie's sometimes-amiss record keeping--but in this case, it may have more to do with some confusing reporting on other military paperwork, leading to an error in transcription at Find a Grave. I believe the 1882 date is the correct one. Iggy, I believe you can view his paperwork for burial via Ancestry.com, and you'll see what I mean. I would have been confused, too :)Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-6059715354638569872014-01-30T22:23:39.805-08:002014-01-30T22:23:39.805-08:00Sometimes connections are lost through the generat...Sometimes connections are lost through the generations.
