Notes

As told by their granddaughter, Pat Simmons:
"Doc and Dosh moved from Missouri to a farm, located in Payne County, Oklahoma, which had been claimed on September 16, 1893, in the Oklahoma Land Run. Mr. William Burch, riding a mule, entered the race and staked claim to the farm two and one-half miles south of Glencoe. He first build a sod house, then a temporary frame one, and finally in about 1897, a more permanent one-story frame structure. In the early 1900's Mr. Burch sold the farm to Allen Bowen, who added a two-story addition. Then in 1912 Mr. Bowen traded the farm and house to A. W. Stokes for $500 and A. W.'s farm in Mt. View, Missouri. After the Stokes family moved to the farm, it became known as 'The Stokes Place.' " 

Asa's 1946 death certificate stated that he had lived at the place of his death for 35 years. 

Based on age of daughter Angeline. 

Based on age of eldest child. If she happened to be a second wife that would be out the window. 

Based on birth of daughter Senona in October 1850. 

Based on the age of her eldest known son with first husband, Charles Holmes. 

Based on the birth of youngest child namesake Jeffrey about 1868, and Jeffrey (the father's) absence from the home in 1870, and Jane's 1880 enumeration which calls her a widow. 

Bedie's death certificate and her obituary both name her as "Beatty" Etta. These are the only instances that I have seen of this spelling. Also seen as "Beda" and "Bedy."

Though named for her maternal grandmother, I have never seen her referenced with the full name "Obedience," and she was probably just named the shorter "Bedie." 

Bell died of bronchial pneumonia. 

Benjamin, Howell, and Reeves Adams, brothers. Reeves Adams appears in 1840 Humphreys Co tax records. Coincidental names? Bedie named sons Howell and Benjamin and her daughter Polina married a Reeves.

Bennett married again in 1945. While it is possible that his first wife died, given her age and the family history, it is more likely that they were divorced 

Bennett may have died in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. A tree on Ancestry.com states that his full name was Edgar Bennett Patten and he died in 1962 in Multnomah County, Oregon, unsourced.

The Oregon Death index lists an Edgar B. Patten, died 18 September 1962, Multnomah County (county code 26), age 52, wife's name Sylvia. 

Bennett was enumerated age 20 in his brother's 1930 household, Los Angeles County, single. In the 1940 census and the 1940 Bakersfield Directory he had a wife named Ellen. 

Betty's 1850 census reflects birth in Mississippi, while the 1860 gives it as Tennessee. FindAGrave entry also states Tennessee. 

Bio of her father named children, stating that daughter Carrie E. Walker had "since died" (after her mother). Published in 1891. Since her parents were married in 1858, she must have been born between 1858-1874. 

Biron H. Walker's marriage to Rosalind Alexandria Hendrickson states that her maiden name was Parsells--indicating that she had first married a Hendrickson. 

Birth date from WWI draft registration, place from 1920 an 1930 census. 

Birth record names her as "Anna E. Gray" and the 1860 census enumerates her as "Elizabeth Gray." 

Birth years based on likely birth order, taken from his mother's obituary. 

Birthdate calculated from age on her stone, "66 years, 11 months, 20 days." 

Blanche's last residence, and probably the place of her death was Bucyrus, Texas County, Missouri. 

Bond posted by Jerome Dugan and W. R. Hudson. 

Bondsman, William Shearri[n] 

Bonnie Compton, and others offer Iowa as Ernest's place of death. However, the Florida death index and notice in the Miami Herald make it clear that he died in Dade County, though he may have been buried elsewhere. 

Both Myrtle's obit and her death cert specify her birthplace as Beulahville or Beulaville (two different spellings). This town (or variant spelling) has not been located. No county was stated. 

Both the Collins Walker and McMillan Gaelic Bibles record Ritha's birth as 9 January 1843. The Illinois death index offers the same day and month but gives 1840 as her birth year.  

Bowen offers only the year, 1972. 

Bowen's typescript indicates that Jake "ran away as a young man" and was "lost from his family for quite a long time."

Bowen states that Jacob had a first wife and three children before marrying Lou Walker and having two children, Oscar and May, in Izard County, Arkansas. His life in Arkansas is documented from 1891. His life between 1860 and 1891 remains a mystery.

His family has not been located in the 1870 census, so it is not clear at what age he left home.

 

Brewster Farrar, who appears as her apparent son in the 1885 Kansas census, born about 1881 in Illinois, died in Sangamon Co IL in 1917 and his death certificate names his mother as Josephine Capp, which caused me concern that there was confusion about the identity of the subject individual.

However, Charles Farrar's 1931 Sangamon County death certificate, states his father as Adolphus Farrar and his mother as Josephine Walker. 

Bridget's death registration, 13 April 1884, gave her age as 47 years, 6 months and 5 days. This would calculate to a birth date of 8 October 1836.

Bridget's January 1863 commitment papers gave her age as 30, calculating to a birth year of 1833. 

Bronchial pneumonia 

Calculates from 1870 census to a birth year of 1864. Genealogical info with his mother's Hartley Cemetery data offers birth year of 1863. 

Calvin and Amanda's descendant, researcher Mary Gibson, states that her ancestor Calvin J. Ladd was born in either Granville or Wake County, North Carolina. 

Cannon Lasater assigned his bounty land warrant to Hardy Lasater. The land document states that Cannon Lasater served as a private in Capt. Thompson's 3rd Regt, Tennessee, as well as a Corp., Capt. Evans Co., North Carolina militia, War of 1812. 

Cannot be located in any census, except John W. after her death. Cannot be located in marriage records. Do not show up as most people would in general searches leading me to wonder if they were childless. He died two years too late for the present death index for Illinois on FamilySearch. A search of their names as parents turns up no child of theirs who died.

Nothing further is known of Iva L. Walker. 

Caroline's husband, Frank A. Patterson, was a successful farmer in Polk County, Oregon. He was elected to the lower house of the Oregon state legislature in 1880 and 1882. He was a promoter of and, for three years, president of the Independence & Monmouth Railway.

Caroline's eldest son Isaac Patterson was governor of Oregon from 1926 to 1929, when he died of pneumonia. 

Catherine appears in the 1920 census, age 2 years and 9 months. In the 1930 census she should appear as a 12- or 13-year-old, but is not found in the household. It is likely that she died prior to 1930. 

Cause of death erisypylis. 

Cause of death influenza. 

Cause of death, "Scalding." 

Cause of death, brain hemorrhage. 

Cause of death, carcinoma of the liver. 

Cause of death: "acute nephritis"

It is worth noting that although her son Cleveland K. Walker was the informant for Mary's death certificate, he was unable to report her birth date, the names of her parents, nor her place of birth in Ireland. 

Cause of death: "ASCVD" (arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease) 

Cause of death: "Carcinoma, floor of bladder." 

Cause of death: "chronic nephritis," which at that time probably had something to do with kidney function, possibly even Bright's disease. 

Cause of death: "consumption" (probably tuberculosis). 

Cause of death: "pulmonary T.B." 

Cause of death: "tuberculosis of bowels"
