Research Notes

• In my files I had a note for John which reads: "John S. Alling b Hamden, res Hamden. single. d 4 FEB 1867 ag 42-11-0. Refers to Vol 4 pp. 18-19. Cause: disease of the brains." And a source of "1867-1903, Page 3". However, when I tried to find this quote and source, I was unable to do so.
• Slight discrepancy concerning John's age at death. Was he 42 years and 11 months, or 43?
