Research Notes

An alternate birth place of "Plaquemine Parish, New Orleans" [which does not make sense] was given in this profile. An alternate death place was given as Rockport, Illinois, and an alternate marriage date was given as 18 Nov 1865 at "Plaquemine Parish, New Orleans." None of these were sourced. The only known source at this time for exact dates and places of birth, marriage, and death are from Findagrave memorials, which are also unsourced except for the birth and death year which appears on her headstone. For now, the Findagrave memorial data is entered above until better sources turn up.
