Research Notes

• Please see https://www.wikitree.com/photo.php/a/a3/O_Hair-65-1.pdf on the birth year of Mary. I think it may be more like 1816 or 1817, which is reasonable from the Census records. The gravestone says 1810, but it appears to be a new gravestone.
• She also supposedly married again after William was killed. Likely to an Aaron Cyphers or Syphers that may have been living with the family at the time.
