No original source records have been located to confirm birth or marriage records. It appears that some erroneous information may have been published, and perhaps republished/reported, making the “actual facts” obscure. Links for Find A Grave and Ancestry Family Trees are provided for reference and convenience only (and are considered unreliable/unproven unless sources are contained within). Independent research should be done before considering as "fact"
