Notes	Hook, James M - Herring, Betty Jane - Feb 20 1861 The transcription of this marriage from the original was mistaken. The year was 1868 not 1861. I have a copy of the original record. Another error occurred on the 1850 census showing her born in Kentucky not Missouri. All future references and census show her born in Missouri. On 1900 census, 7 children born, 6 still alive. They had a servant in 1900, lived next door to Dabney Carver Herring family and near Gideon Herring family. note: I now have her death certificate, and it confuses things a bit more. It says she was 73 years, 11 months, and 20 days old when she died on June 20, 1921. This would make her date of birth 30 Jun 1847, a year and a half before her parents married. The 1850 census image gives her age in 1850 as 11/12, or one month short of being 1 year old. Birth place Kentucky. Census was done the 16th of October, which further confuses birth date of June.1847. According to this census, she was born in Sept. of 1849. See notes about her parentage in her father's first wife's notes. I am not connecting her yet to that mother because I do not have definate proof, but I now believe she may have been a daughter of his first wife, Lydia Scott, total speculation at this point. It would make sense if she was still a baby when her father married, that wife would consider her as her own, since she raised her. Columbia Statesman Mar 6, 1868 Page 2, Column 6 Hook, James M. -married Bettie J. Herring F 20 Found this in a newspaper index search, haven't yet seen the actual article. Don't know if the 20 refers to her age, if it does, it supports the Jun 1847 birth date. Mrs. Bettie Jane Hook 1 Jul 1850 19 Jun 1921 Fulton Telegraph, Callaway Weekly Gazette I now have a photograph of her headstone. Her date of birth on headstone is, July 1, 1849. Too many conflicting birth dates, I don't know when she was born.
