HOWETT, Lydia S.
Abt 1821 - 1849 (28 years)-
Name HOWETT, Lydia S. Birth Abt 1821 North Carolina [1] Gender Female Death Aug 1849 Chowan County, North Carolina, United States [2] - Cause of death: Consumption
A family researcher reports, " There is a death record for Lydia for August, 1849 in that the record is for all deaths ending by July 1850 and it lists August. On the other hand the 1850 census for Gates County which shows an enumeration date of September 17th, 1850 clearly shows Lydia there with Richard H. Manning, James H and Frances H. Which is correct is unknown. The death entry may be incorrect or the census taker may have been in error. The death record shows she died from consumption (known today as tuberculosis) and, if I read it correctly, that she suffered from it about a month. Clearly, one of the two records is incorrect but we may never know which one."

Residence 17 Sep 1850 Gates County, North Carolina, United States [1] Taylor - This record seems bogus if, indeed, Lydia died in 1849. It would also explain why her two children were living with her parents on 17 September, 1850.
