Research Notes

In his 1938 book, Utterback history and genealogy of the Utterback family in America, 1622-1937, William Irvin Utterback states that James was born in Harrison Co., Ohio. [1] However, his obituary says that he was born in Culpeper Co., Virginia, [2] and all his census records state that he was born in Virginia. Also, the Utterback Book states that he was married 25 Dec 1835. However, that was the date that the license was issued; the wedding day was actually on 31 Dec 1835. [3]
