Andrew Arnot
Born: July 28, 1847
Died: April 11, 1899
Dates seems to be a problem to Andrew Arnot, as uncertain as accuracy for his birth date; then accuracy as to where the marriage occurred, 1871 or 1872, Scotland vs USA and finally the grave marker states Death as 11 April 1899 but the Missouri Death records say 11 April 1900 and Andrew was not enumerated on the 1900 census taken June 13 1900.
