<note>While there are no records identifying his middle name as "Morris", this name does appear in online sites... perhaps due to speculation or difficulty in reading the name "Monroe", which only appears once; in his Confederate military record.</note> | <note>While there are no records identifying his middle name as "Morris", this name does appear in online sites... perhaps due to speculation or difficulty in reading the name "Monroe", which only appears once; in his Confederate military record. \\ |
| James M. Farmer was also inconsistent in stating his age and birth year. His tombstone states that he was born in 1833, which is consistent with the age he reported in his 1870 & 1910 U.S. Census. However, in his 1900 U.S. Census he specifically states that his birth month / year was Nov. 1835; which is consistent with the age he reported in his 1860 & 1880 U.S. Census.</note> |

| Note 1: According to the tombstone of Robert Thomas Randall (appearing in the census as Thomas R. Randall), he was actually born in 1888... not 1890 (as the 1900 U.S. Census indicates).\\ |
| Note 2: Napoleon Randall's tombstone, his birth year was actually 1893, not 1894.\\ |
| Note 3: Although incorrectly identified as his "mother", from the Census we see that John W. Randall's Mother-in-law (Nancy E. Mitchell Thomas) was living with them in 1900... the year before her death. We also learn that Nancy Thomas could not read or write. |
