Research Note

Cooke-7654 18:36, 24 December 2022 (UTC) As noted on her father's profile, his pension file shows the marriage to Selah took place in 1819-1820, so she must be a second (or later) wife, and cannot be the mother of his assigned children. There is also no evidence that Catherine is Thomas' daughter, but that is not disproven either.
