In the transcript of the Arkansas 1911 Census of Confederate Veterans (pp. 119), Britton Washington Jones

1) gives his DOB as April 12, 1833 -- his stone has April 14, 1835 and his first name is spelled "Bretten" on the stone ("Britton" would follow the spelling of his father's name);

2) gives his wife's name as Emily T. Manus -- his/her stones carry "Tennessee E". In the 1911 interview Britton gives name of his daughter Lula's husband as Elijah B. Burcham and the info I have (supported by marriage and census records) is Littleton Boxley Burcham, who had a brother "Elisha" (yet to be proven) -- Ancstry members' family photos and ID's, if correct, support Littleton.
