Source notes
- John McDeavitt and Jane St. Clair may have been childless. In the 1840 census no children are listed. The McDeavitts were in their late 40's and any children could have left home by then. However, as a widow in 1860, Jane lived with a nephew. This could suggest she had no children, but could also be explained simply by the fact that the nephew was a widower with daughters and Aunt Jane was available to help out.
