NAM: Unidentified ped chart ALL: Unidentified fam group record SPS: Unidentified ped chart shows "(1)" for wife's name, suggesting that the ancestral wife is the first of more than one marriages; it also shows "(2) Mary Ann" below, so that Mary Ann, though not the ancestral wife, was a wife nevertheless. For this reason, I have included Mary Ann in PAF as an "other marriage." Notwithstanding all this, we unfortunately do not even know, as of this date, where this interesting information came from -- W.E.B. (11/27/90) On another fam group record, it is Mary Ann (here again indeicated as wife #2) who is shown as the mother of Nancy as well as 7 other children. So, the story here is that Mary Ann IS the ancestral wife So, what is our choice? We will, for now, put Mary Ann in that position, put be open to other variations. --W.E.B. (12/1/90) MISC: note on unidentified fam group record: "to US 1839"
