PLEASE do not change the placement of the reference and footnote notations. 1/2 of the census data and other is lost if you do. No rule that I know of that says you have to have no space between "Sources" and References or can't have footnotes. Thank you.

If anyone has further information about her, it would be appreciated. I've searched extensively and found very little for her and her family.
