Source notes

• Ida Robison's birthdate: The census of 28 June 1870 for the Isaac Robison family place the birth of daughter Ida after that census date. The census of 12 June 1880 lists her as ten years old. This suggests that she was close enough to being age 10 on 12 June 1880 that the family reported her as age 10. Thus we speculate that her birthdate was later that month or the next, June or July of 1870.

Conjecture

There appear to be possibly two couples in the area of Slippery Rock, named Ida and William McDeavitt. Gravestones, West Liberty Cemetery, Worth Twp., Butler Co. PA., transcribed June 2007 by Elizabeth Wilson Williams.
