Other sources for birthdate: IGI has these records of Charles Krout:

- born in 1860 of Catahula Parish, LA, died in 1881 and his baptism-1931 and AZ endw 1932 proxy as Elbert Thadist Goodson

- two others, both born in 1854 in Ala and died in 1881 McComb, Pike, MS--but with different

parents: Jacob and Mrs. OR Nancy Jacob Krout (m. in 1847) and C Krout and Mary M

NOTE: Neither of Charley’s parents (C. Krout and Mary Margaret Krout) appear in the 1880 census records. Charley’s father (C. Krout) not in 1970 census, and 10 years later, his sisters Fannie and Minnie are living with older brother, Jacob C. Krout. It is likely that C. Krout was no longer living in 1870 and that Mary Margaret died before the1880 census.
