Documentation:
Note--Garret and Phebe may have been twins. 1900 census
records for each of them looks like birthdate is July 1836
Melvina and Melville were possibly twins and probably born in 1847,
though the 1900 census record for Melville indicates that he was born in
1845. Other records indicate a birth year of 1847.
