Notes

• Information contained in parenthesis is information not included on the record but extrapolated based on the existing records available for the person.

• Where ages are presented as year, month, and days, the age has been calculated based on the birth date to the present record date.

• A date, other than the year, for a census record is the date the census was recorded in the ledger. Not the exact date the census was taken.

• There are three different references for the date of birth. The census records, the death record, and the memorial marker. On the census records it consistently refers to 44/45, on the death record 42, and on the memorial marker 41. I split the difference, and used the death record, as I assume his son Asa was the source for this date.
