George Washington McGown

1850 - Aft 1883  (33 years)

• Name	George Washington McGown  [1, 2]
  Birth	14 Mar 1850	Milam, Sabine County, Texas   [1, 2]
  Gender	Male
  Death	Aft 1883	Sabine County, Texas
  Notes	In 1870, he was listed at home with his parents and siblings, and not with (first wife?) Priscilla Jane Evans. In 1880, he was remarried to an Ida, and living in Sabine County, Texas. The 1900 Sabien County census shows Ida as widowed, and living with son Drayton, one of her three living children. George was shown in the household--logical if Ida was a widow. However the McGown cemetery has a double tombstone for George McGown (#27357164)and Ida McGown (# 27357205). The headstone, engraved with the words "Father" and "Mother" show that George was born 1852, and died in 1897. Ida was shown with a date of birth of 1850 (later than her birthdate per the 1900 census of Nov 1844) and date of death as 1905. Are these discrepencies the result of errors on either/or the census and grave markers? Or could their have been two George and Ida McGown families, approximately the same age, in Sabine County.
