Research Notes

• Jane Arrington removed as a child of Henry Carrington Arrington and Nancy Elizabeth Stokes; her mother would have been about 53, probably beyond child-bearing age.

• FamilySearch.com also shows a Henry Arrington b. 1848 as one of her children Nancy would have been 56 at the time of his birth; definitely beyond child-bearing age.

• Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/tree/20234479/person/19626621696/media/3ca92a2b-b802-48cf-bb50-b4635706be88?_phsrc=wOV355&_phstart=successSource) indicates that Nancy Stokes' mother was Unitey Carey. This is the same dialogue as in the FamilySearch.com (source document, below) Life Sketch.

• Either the date of birth, 1815, of Martha (Arrington) Thompson is wrong or the birth location is wrong since the family did not move to Tennessee until about 1823.

• The birth location for Priscilla (Arrington) Biles should probably be Smith County.
