  • Notes 
    • The 1880 Census has James's last name spelled Fyke. Although the death database for James says he died on March 24th, the tombstone reads March 23. If I ever find a death record to where I can view the death document I will change it but, for now, since I can clearly see that it states the 23rd on the tombstone, I am putting the death date as the 23rd. Also to note, the marriage record for James and Elizabeth has the last name as Fikes. All other records indicate Fike so that is what I am using.
