   Note: I do NOT believe that the relationships with John and Ellen are correct! I'm struggling a bit to conclusively prove this, but I believe that this John Suydam is a child from George Washington Suydam's first marriage and that Ellen (probably Eleanor) is G. W.'s granddaughter! This is NOT the only instance where there are incorrect relationships in his household on census forms! (See the 1900 census.)

   :: Note: Beatrice M. Suydam is NOT George Washington Suydam's niece! She is his granddaughter! George Washington Suydam and Jennie Wyckoff's eldest son, George Wyckoff Suydam, was separated from his first wife at the time of the 1900 census. They had three children: The youngest, Robert, was enumerated with his mother. The eldest, Ruth, was enumerated with in-laws. (Specifically, the mother and father-in-law of George Wyckoff Suydam's brother, James S. Suydam.) The middle daughter, Beatrice, was enumerated in her grandparents' household, along with her father.
