In case no one noticed, we have not given complete citations for every piece of information, especially census records. The reason simply being, it would have taken longer to complete this history. There is enough information here that any "rookie" genealogist could find the specific source if they make even a half-hearted effort. If anyone thinks this report is "perfect", they will be disappointed. This type of research is too complex and the source material for many of these people is often confusing, especially when the names are misspelled. This is not to mention typing errors and mistakes we found in some of the cited sources, as well as, our own. We have also adjusted some individual's approximate year of birth, based on what we feel some of the sources have led us to conclude. Some of this data is open to reasonable interpretation, and we have taken the liberty to do so when there was no other option. Can someone do better than what we have presented - of course, and we welcome anyone who is willing to help. Lastly, in our thirty plus years of researching this family, we have collected a lot of information on other, but related families. If anyone has a request, please feel free to contact us.
