Research Notes

  • His status as a Lieutenant (LT) is not sourced, and is thus marked as uncertain. He was not referred to as Sr in any of the records; whereas, his son was referred to as Jr in some, so Sr has been removed.
  • Most of the death records of the children are appropriately matched on FamilySearch, but have not yet been abstracted here.
  • Most dates and relationships on FindAGrave appear to have face validity.
