Re: Memorial for Jordan Asher
I ask that you look at the birthdate for Jordan Asher again.
The reason that it is important to put the correct birth year on the memorial: Jordan's memorial cannot be linked to his father's memorial as it currently is, as Jordan's father died in 1877.
I sent this message to your email address with documentation (with links). If you have trouble opening the links, let me know, and I will send you images of the documentation.
Jordan is on the 1880 census as being nine years old, with a birth year of about 1871.
In the 1900 census his birth date is listed as Feb 1873.
In 1910 his birth date is listed as 1872.
In 1920 his birth year is listed as about 1871.
In 1930 it is listed as about 1880.
In 1940 it is listed as about 1874.
His Railroad Pension Index has his birth date as Feb 1872.
His US Social Security Applications and Claims Index has his birth date as Feb 6, 1872.
He married Ellen Mae Sizemore June 6, 1899 in Campbell County, Tennessee.
Ellen was born about 1873-1874.
Jordan's parents were Robert Sidney Asher and Mary "Polly" Morgan.
Robert was born September 4, 1804 and died April 5, 1877.
Mary "Polly" was born about June 17, 1846 and died September 18, 1925.
Robert Sidney Asher and Mary "Polly" Morgan married March 2, 1862.
Their children:
Lucy Asher, born about 1864
Emily Asher, born about 1866
Ulysses Asher, born about 1868
Jordan Asher, born February 6, 1872
Roberrt Sidney Asher died April 5, 1877.
In 1880 Lucy and Ulysses were living with their older half-brother, Dillion, and his family.
Jordan was living with his older half-brother, Henry, and his family.
Jordan's death record and grave marker definitely have his birth year as 1883, but that is in error.
The problem with keeping it that way on his memorial is that Jordan's memorial cannot be linked with his father's as Jordan's memorial has his birth date as five years after his father died, and if the birth date isn't changed, then on Jordan's memorial he will remain fatherless as he cannot be linked to his father.
Jordan was actually born 5 years before his father died. All of Jordan's records list Robert Asher as his dad. There has never been the slightest rumor of his father being otherwise.
I thank you so very much for making memorials for those buried in Woodlawn Cemetery. It is appreciated more than words can say.
If you would like to use any of the info that I have sent, that is more than OK, but I request that my name or ID to not be used. I thank you.
