      Buried Barren Creek Cemetery; Cem. Dir. of Polk Co MO

      YOD maybe 1951 (1).
      YOB stated as 1833 in (1).
      ! The date of birth of Finis Q. Watkins is believed to be
      an error (as of 1991). It is currently being left as written because it is recorded in both the Evans book and the Dessa book with that date. Logic causes the editor to believe that the date of birth is more likely to be 1883 instead of 1833. The editor is checking other sources to gain further information. (dd)
