I am stymied! My G Grandfather was A R Landrum who is buried in Hot Springs, Va. I put down A R as that is what is on his headstone. Census records have his name as Arch, Archibal, Archie and Archer. There are also conflicting ages on those records as well as his headstone reads "1856-1930". If he was born in 1856, none of the ages on the census records is correct. There are also different locations for his birth on those same confusing records. I cannot find Cedar Creek in Bath county as that is his listed location on all of the records. Yes, I am a beginner and this really confuses me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
