The date and place of birth for Harold, an adopted child, is based on the 1920 U.S. census and needs to be confirmed.

Census:
According to the 1920 enumeration, Herold [sic] Hayes, age 9, was an adopted son of George and Laura Hayes. Also in the household were Susie Hayes (age 16), a naturally-born child, and Henry Bierlaum [sic], Laura's father.

Other Events:

• Census: 1900, Sugartree Township, Carroll County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:

It has not yet been possible to find accurate documentation of George's birth. He was identified in the 1880 U.S. census for Cooper Township, Saline County Missouri as being 7 months old at the time of the enumeration, having been born in Missouri in December 1879. The same birth date and place is used in the 1900 U.S. census for Sugartree Township, Carroll County, Missouri. In his marriage license filed on 21 April 1902, he declared that he was over the age of 21; this statement supports either 1879 or 1881. The microfilm image of the 1910 U.S. census for Eugene Township, Carroll County, Missouri is not very clear; his age appears to have been reported as 22 years, the place of birth as Missouri. At the same time, Laura, his wife, is said to be 25 years old; all other documents consistently report her as a number of years younger than her husband. In the 1920 U.S. census of Moss Creek Township, Carroll County, Missouri, George is 40 years old (indicating a birth in 1879 or 1880), born in Missouri. In the 1930 U.S. census of Miami, Saline County, Missouri, he is reported to be 49 years old, born in Ohio. According to his 1932 death certificate, George was born on 15 December 1881 in Missouri.
     George's appearance in the 1880 U.S. census would appear to raise serious doubts about any report that he was born after that date. In light of that and the absence of better documentation, I have elected to use December 1789 as the date and Missouri as the place of his birth. A satisfactory resolution will require further research.

According to the 1900 enumeration, Larra Behrbaum [sic] was living with her parents, Henry and Augusta, and her siblings: Hermon [sic]; Alfred; and Charley. Also living in the household was George Hayes, a farm laborer. It is probable that this was the man Laura married in 1902.

Other Events:

• Census: 1920, Moss Creek Township, Carroll County, Missouri, USA

Notes:

Birth:

     There is some dispute about the year of Heinrich's birth. According to the published marriage register of the Evangelical church at Holstein, Warren County, Missouri, Heinrich was born on 4 January 1857. The date of January 1857 is also reported in the 1900 U. S. census enumeration of the Bierbaum household in Sugartree Township, Carroll County, Missouri. The 1920 U. S. census enumeration of the Bierbaum household in Moss Creek Township, Carroll County, Missouri gave "Henry's" age as 63; by calculation from the information provided, he would have been born about 1856-1857.
     Heinrich's death certificate in 1930 reported that he had been born on 4 January 1852. This personal information was provided by a Charles Bierbaum, of Carrollton, Missouri; this may have been Heinrich's son. An obituary published in an unidentified and undated Carroll County, Missouri newspaper before his funeral repeated the same date.
     A resolution will require further research.


Census:
According to the 1920 enumeration, Henry Bierlaum [sic] (age 63) lived with his daughter, Laura Hayes, her husband, George Hayes, their child, Susie Hayes (age 16), Herold [sic] Hayes (age 9), George and Laura's adopted son.
