Notes:

[Linda Gardner]

In the census of 1880 in Harnett Co Richard was listed as born about 1876

Richard's death record is in Harnett County register of Deeds book 30 page 119
born 01 June 1882 died 1943 age 61 informant Mrs Richard Norris.
Richard was listed as age 4 in the 1880 census year born 1876 (If he was listed in the 1880 census that proves he was born before 1882)
In the 1900 census Harnett County Aversaboro Township he is listed as age 24 born Dec 1876

Married in 1905 age given as 29,... year born 1876.
Age at daughter Margaret birth in 1921 45... year born 1876.
tombstone.... year born 1876

I used the date 01 June 1876 because his wife was the informant of his death and I believe she would have known his birth date and was wrong about the year.

Richard married Hattie D. Moore on 5 Nov 1905 in Harnett Co., North Carolina. Hattie (daughter of Bart Moore and Effie Jane Unknown) was born between Aug 1888 and 1889 in Harnett Co., North Carolina; died between 28 Mar 1952 and 1954 in Harnett Co., North Carolina; was buried in Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Erwin, Harnett Co., North Carolina.
