Question about Edwin Martin: His 1920 US Census entry lists an age of 3 for him, implying a birth in February 1916 for him (not February 1917 because the official date of the 1920 US Census was January 1, 1920):

Do we have something earlier than that to confirm a 1915 birth date for him?

The remaining documentation implies a birth year of 1915 or even earlier for him, but his 1920 US Census entry is his earliest document for him so far--or is it?

@futurist just think deductively. If there was no earlier life evidence than the 1920 census, do you think LQ would have validated his case?

Probably not, but at the same time, I can't be 100% sure, now can I?

For instance, LQ validated Matilda Standley Rogers's (1852-1962) case even though her 1860 US Census entry implied a younger age, likely due to the census enumerator confusing her age with that of her younger sister on that US Census.
