Notes

Please do not remove Unsourced from a profile until a valid proper source has been added to the profile. Thank you!

~In response to the note left above; this profile is listed in the database for unsourced Virginia profiles and the instructions for the Virginia Project notate that once a source is found for a profile the unsourced tag is to be removed even if other facts still need citations. I will be adding more in-depth sources to this profile and the unsourced tag will be removed although a source has not yet been located for her death. The unsourced tag is placed on a profile so project members will look for sources to verify that a particular person existed; the tag must be removed after a source has been found so members can focus on the next profile that needs sources.
