Notes:
                   An Earnest L. Thomas has sometimes been associated with this family, although he does not appear on the 1900 census.  Mary Guernsey Thomas lists in 1900 that she has given birth to 7 children, 5 living.  This means that there is one too many children with Earnest L, and we know that Edna and Charles Earnest both died young.  It is most likely that Earnest L and Charles Earnest are the same individual.
