Kitty FUTRELL^[1]

1877 - 1961  (84 years)

• Name	Kitty FUTRELL
  Nickname	Kitty, KIttie, Kit
  Birth	c 1877	North Carolina   [1]
  Gender	Female
  birth2 (conflicting)	1881, 1883, 1884, 1887  [2]
  	See 1880, 1900, 1910 and 1930 US Censuses in addition to her death certificate and headstone inscription.
  	Kittie's age was given as 26 on the 1910 US Census which makes birth year 1884. By 1930 her stated age on census puts birth year at 1887, and her death certificate states 1883, and her headstone 1881. But on 1880 census her age is given as 3 which makes her birth year 1877. This date is confirmed on 1900 census which asked for birth year--Kittie's was stated to be 1877. And she would not appear on 1880 census if born 1881, 1883, 1884 or 1887. Additional discrepancy--death certificate date of birth is 15 Feb 1883; her headstone 17 Feb 1881.
  Occupation	7 Apr 1930	Richlands Township, NC   [3]
  	Kitty was listed as a farm laborer.
  Death	8 Dec 1961	Jacksonville, Onslow Co, NC   [2]
  	Kitty died at 11:30am at Onslow Memorial Hospital. Cause of death was given as arteriosclerosis with antecedent cause as senility. Her son Herbert was the informant. Kitty was 78 years old according to birth year given on death certificate. More likely birth year 1877, which means she was 84 years old at her death.
  Burial	9 Dec 1961	Richlands, Onslow Co, NC
  	Her body was interred in the Williams Cemetery.

  Father	Benjamin FUTRELL,   b. c 1847, North Carolina d. 3 Feb 1925, Richlands, Onslow Co, NC (Age 78 years)
  Mother	Mary BRINSON,   b. c 1845, North Carolina d. prior to 30 Apr 1910 (Age 65 years)
  Marriage	c 1871  [4]
  Notes	1900 US Census noted that Mary had given birth to 8 children. Four were living on 12 Jun 1900. I question whether Mary is daughter of Benjamin and Mary Brinson. Mary would have been 55 years old at the time of daughter's birth. Could this be another grandchild?
