Notes
1. The Werrington baptism records of John’s sons Richard and Thomas record him as a labourer of The Rising Sun, North Petherwin.
2. John died in South Dakota. No record of Mary’s death has been found.
3. Some of the wording on Emma’s death certificate is hard to read, and it does not provide confirmation of the spelling of her married surname. No record of her marriage has been found.
