Mother's Name: Diadama Rusk

Concerning his birth date: Census records up through 1900 US census indicate a birth year around 1844/45. The 1910 & 1920 census suddenly indicate a birth year of 1937/38. The 1850 census records him as 5 years of age. Had he been born in 1837 he would have been 12 - it is my experience that it is much easier to tell the difference between a 5 year old child and a 12 year-old than it is between a 80 or 87 year-old man.
