Research Notes

A timeline with locations to track the family's movements should help give some visibility on the accuracy of actual vs postulated family. Sources need to be added to each line below and hopefully, over time, a clearer picture will emerge. Note: some children's names may be correct, but with a misattributed birth record suggesting misleading location so should not be detached in haste. Findagrave sourcing is shown for information only (it is a secondary source): primary sources need to be located.
