Birth Year

[edit]

There are a few different years given. Most of the newspaper sources give 1926, as does the VA BIRLS death file[1]. The two sources currently used, Find a Grave[2] and the Nationwide Gravesite Locator[3] give 1920. His Social Security Application death record has it as 1925 [Ancestry.com. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2015. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?_phsrc=DNI1050&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&gss=angs-g&new=1&rank=1&msT=1&gsfn=Benjamin%20Hoskins&gsfn_x=0&gsln=Paddock&gsln_x=0&cp=0&catbucket=rstp&MSAV=1&uidh=7q6&pcat=ROOT_CATEGORY&h=39730895&dbid=60901&indiv=1&ml_rpos=4]. My guess is 1926 is the most accurate, but I'm happy to defer. Smmurphy(Talk) 22:10, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at 1930 and 1940 census records, it seems pretty clear that 1926 is the correct date. Here is the 1930 record that I think represents Paddock, I don't see any other likely individuals. We can add mention of the 1920 date in a note. Smmurphy(Talk) 12:23, 4 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
