Randy Seaver has a new Saturday Night Genealogy Fun post up! Since all my housework is done for the day and the house is settling down, I decided to jump in on this one and see how it went.
The mission is to list my 16 great-great grandparents with their birth year, their death year, and their lifespan. It should be interesting to see how they vary or if they vary at all. I’m going to list them as they go right down my pedigree, in fact, for fun here is my pedigree. 🙂
You can see their dates up there but I am going to type them anyway.
- Robert James Moore Sr. (1871-1925) 54 years old.
- Mary E. Johnson (1873-?) She died between 1910 and 1915, so between 37 and 42 years old.
- Lewis Thorward (1875-1946) 71 years old.
- Jennie Viola Love (1876-1960) 84 years old.
- Herbert Redford (1872-1940) 67 years old.
- Sarah Ann Sutcliffe (1873-1924) 51 years old. I found her headstone but not her death certificate.
- John Walter Parkin (1863-?) I think he died between 1905 and 1910, so between 42 and 47 years old.
- Jennie Featherson (1875-?) I think she died between 1900 and 1905, so between 25 and 30 years old.
- John Harmon Mays (1842-1927) 84 years old.
- Celia Slusher (1844-1914) 70 years old.
- Charles Moyer (1861-1940) 78 years old.
- Ada May Evans (1873-1925) 52 years old.
- George Thomas Taylor (1863-1913) 50 years old.
- Mollie Jane Webb (1867-1931) 64 years old.
- James William Applegate (1862-1951) 88 years old.
- Elizabeth West (1870-1938) 68 years old.
The average lifespan is 62 years. The average birth year is 1866 and the average death year is 1933. Very interesting and I see where I need to do a little more work at too!
