      Enumerated on the 1851 Census, at Aberdour as Andrew Arment, Andrew's son,age 6 , born Cupar,Fife
      Family records dispute this, saying he was born Crossgates, Fife, Scotland Sep 2010 hw

      Actual text: FATHER
      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.
