The informant says the father of Charles Edward McNew was born in MI. He was not. He was born in Schuyler County, Illinois in 1844 or 1846. There is a discrepancy between his death certificate and the newspaper obituary.
Mr. McNew's mother was born in Jackson County, Ohio in 1849 before crossing the prairie at the age of 5 to Allendale, Worth County (formerly Gentry Co.,) Missouri. Her father was Alexander R. Daniels born in Essex County, New York and her mother was Susannah Bell born in Prince George's County, Maryland.
