Source notes
- Information on name, vital stats., and census extracts from correspondence of great-nephew Thomas G. Adams; no source given except for census; expect family records.
- Additional notation penciled in to family group sheet indicate Synthia Etta married circa 1893, but also that she died circa 1891. Either could be correct, but not both.
