Biographical Notes	Parkersburg, Wood County, West Virginia, USA Note: In the 1900 census William Proffitt's birthplace and those of both his parents is recorded as "unknown". How could this be? Did he really not remember or was someone else answering the census questions on his behalf or could the census taker not read his own writing when he came to record the answers? Who knows? Anyway his memory clears up in time for the 1910 census to discover that he was born in Virginia, as were his parents. He is a farmer. In the 1910 census he, Laura, 50, and their daughter Edith, 22, are at home. Edith is a saleswoman in a dry goods store.
