    Notes:

    Birth:
    Death certificate alleges she died aged 102 years, 8 months, 28 days. However, her parents would both have been under 15 years of age at her birth, were she born in 1831. Her youngest child would then have been born when she was aged 47. All census sources give her birth in the mid-1840s.

    Two different birth dates are given in her application for Civil War widow's pension, 15 Jun 1836 and 15 Jun 1837. The later year best ties to other statements of age in her affidavits in the file.

    JUNE 18, 1918 - FEB. 13, 2005

    PORT ORANGE - Kay L. Gann, 86, of Wood Street, a union painter before his retirement in 1981, died Sunday at home.

    Mr. Kay Gann was born in Bartlett, Neb., and moved here from Tennessee in 1945. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Port Orange and enjoyed fishing, gardening and red roses.

    Survivors include his wife of 32 years, Carrie; three daughters, Janice Winzens, Port Orange, Paula Davis, Jacksonville, and Gerri Turnage, Orlando; four grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Lohman-Daytona, Daytona Beach, is in charge.

    No apparent accounting for the discrepancies in the biography contained in the obituary with the documented evidence in all other sources.

    Obituary notes Carrie was his "wife of 32 years", yet they were apparently married in Alabama in 1938. However, Kay L Gann appears in the Florida divorce index on 1 Sep 1971--perhaps he remarried Carrie in 1973
