Birth of a sister	Esther Ruth Ellis July 14, 1899 Anderson, Madison, Indiana, United States Note: Most sources list her birthdate as 14 July 1899, but on her marriage license, she listed it as 1898. In the 1920 census, her birth year was shown as 1900. ("United States Census, 1920," index and images, <i>FamilySearch</i> (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MF4L-NP7 : accessed 28 Dec 2013), Esther Ploughe in household of J L Ploughe, Jefferson, Tipton, Indiana, United States; citing sheet , family 5, NARA microfilm publication T625, FHL microfilm 1820466.)

I suspect she lied about her age in order to get married.
