The Birth Date's of David Chenault Barry and David Franklin Barry

The Chenault book lists David Chenault Barry's birth date as October 3, 1875, but papers from Benjamin Franklin Barry, his son, include typewritten notes on the back of a photocopies article about Redmond Dillon Barry's descendant's show the date as October 30, 1875. Logical assumptions derived from knowing Ben Barry and his wife,, Frances Dean Smith Barry, allow that the record was typed by her at his instruction. Since that record's source is closer to the subject individual, it seems more likely that the 30th is the correct date.

Likewise, the Chenault book lists David Franklin Barry's birth date as January 8, 1846. The typewritten notes refer to his birth date as 1845, which favors the 1845 date.

The "Chenault book" is Chenault, Belle Montgomery, Descendants of Estienne Chenault, 1991 Ed. Gregath Publishing, (Cullman, AL 1992).
