Footnotes

  1. ↑ The last two sons of Sarah Averett Webb are peculiarly close in age. The headstone of Elijah E. says November 1840; however his mother died in May 1840. Not possible. The US Federal Census gives him November 1839, which is feasible, but it puts him within 6 months of his older brother, Hal R. in May 1839. No answer yet.

PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE the placement of the reference and footnote notations. 1/2 of the census data and other is lost if you do. No rule that I know of that says you have to have no space between "Sources" and References or can't have footnotes. And yes, I have read the "Help" page. Thank you.
