1	"Susan and Hudson were staying with John and Sarah Bird Ridge when John was killed. Hudson Ball worked at Ridge's store."	Family: F422
2	"While at school in Cornwall he fell in love with Sarah Bird Northrup, and after two years convinced her parents to allow them to marry. However, the couple's New England community reacted angrily to the marriage of a Native American man and an American woman, and their unwillingness to accept his marriage forever altered Ridge's attitude toward American and Native American relations." --Wikipedia	Family: F431
3	After they were married, they lived in Buller, MO, for a while in a tent (probably construction work). A storm blew their tent away, and they lost their wedding certificate in the storm.	Family: F077

5	H.N. Arnold rode a horse to TN while leading one other and sneaked Martha back over the state line into MO. She never saw her family after that. 10 Jan 2010 13:38:21	Family: F050

Family: F12
8	Sisselt is almost certainly not the child of Cadwgan ap Elystan. See note on Sisselt's page for explanation. Cadwgan is here merely as a placeholder in the event that a link between the two is discovered.	Family: F352
9	Some genealogies also include Elisha Doubledee, b.Abt 30 Jan 1713, Charlestown, MA; d.9 Jan 1806, Lebanon, Windham Co., CT. This is the line that Abner Doubleday of Civil War and misattributed baseball fame comes from. He seems shoehorned in to me, with no real evidence for the connection; for that reason I'm not including him here.	Family: F312
10	The Slawsons came to Miller County from southwest Missouri (near Sarcoxie, Jasper County) after the Civil War and located in the Brays Mill area. Before coming west to Missouri, they had stopped off in Kentucky on their way from North Carolina where a couple of their children were born. Some of their children included: Katherine Slawson b. c/1833 in NC; Haywood Slawson b. c/1835 NC; Lowry A. Slawson b. c/1839 KY; James Slawson b. c/1841 KY; Sarah Slawson b. c/1847 MO. and Fetna Slawson b. c/1850 MO. Latermore children were born to Joseph Slawson Sr. and a second wife including Joseph Arnold Slawson Jr (born in Jasper Co., MO in 1854) http://www.millercountymuseum.org/bios/bio_ij.html#j 09 Jan 2010 12:48:55	Family: F039
11	Some sources give her birthplace as Salem, MA--but Salem didn't exist in 1620!	Jane
12	I'm not convinced this is the right spouse for Frank Bilyeu, or even the right Frank M Bilyeu. There is a photo of George C's brother Frank and his wife Mary at George and Sophia's 50th anniversary party in late 1946.	Paradine Alexander
13	Invented Cream of Wheat.	Thompson Smith Amidon
14	Buried Section A Site 1095.	William Farmer Amidon
15	Member of 3rd PA Heavy Artillery. Buried in Loudon Park National Cemetery in Baltimore. In "The Amidon Family", Frank Eugene Best gives his grave as No.1818, which appears to be incorrect. The National Cemetery Association lists him in Sec A, No.1085 and this is backed up by photographic evidence (see http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSsr=41&GScid=109423&GRid=44539461& ).

16	Letter to St Nicholas magazine, 1908 Vol 35, Part 1, pg 751 Section: "Nature and Science for Young Folks" Comstock, Nebraska Dear St Nicholas: When the weather gets warm and the beehives are full of bees they begin to get ready to swarm. They raise a dozen or more young queens, but the old one generally goes with the first swarm. They come out in the air, fly around, and then settle. When they begin to settle a few bees light and the others keeps piling on them and hanging to one another till they all get settled. Sometimes there is no more than a quart of bees in a swarm, and we have had them when they would fill a big pail. Sometimes they will not stay in the cluster more than half an hour, and sometimes they hang all day before they go away. When we go to get them we spread a sheet down in front of the hive and shake the bees on it and they run in. If they light on a tree we sometimes cut the branch off and carry it to the hive. They quite often settle on a tree, and we have had them light on the fence or on the ground. The picture is of a swarm that settled on a sulky-plow seat. My little sister is finishing her breakfast beside them. --Ailsa B. Amos (age 12) One remembers while reading this that Ailsa's mother Arabella was known for her beekeeping skills.	Ailsa Bell Amos
17	Inscription on tombstone: "Our First Born."	Baby Girl Amos
18	"Zachariah D. Amos, third son of John M. and Catherine (Thompson) Amos, was born in Ohio, and when sixteen years of age accompanied his parents to Iowa. He came to Custer County in the spring of 1883 and took up a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres on section twenty-eight, township eighteen, range eighteen. He was married in Valley County, June 7, 1891, to Miss Arabella Love, who was born in Wisconsin, and for some time before her marriage had been a teacher in Nebraska schools. She had also homesteaded one hundred and sixty acres of land on section twenty-two, township eighteen, range eighteen, where she and her husband now reside. He has served for a number of years as moderator of the school board of district number two hundred and forty-two. Mr. and Mrs. Amos have three children living: Ailsa Bell, Maud L. and Frieda B., all at home. They also have in their household circle, Alice Emerson, whom they have reared since her infancy." --"The Biographies of Custer County"	Zachariah D Amos
19	Possibly b. instead Perrysville, Ashland Co., OH.	Zachariah D Amos
20	Sisselt is almost certainly not the child of Cadwgan ap Elystan. (The relationship appears in "The Visitation of Shropshire, 1623" and seems to be the source of every existing genealogy which claims this parentage.) There is nearly a century's gap between Sisselt's estimated birth (c.1170) and the accepted estimates for Cadwgan's death (c.1075). At least three additional generations are needed to complete the gap, if indeed Sisselt is descended from Cadwgan ap Elystan. However, I'm leaving Cadwgan as a placeholder in the event that a link between the two is discovered.	Sisselt ap Cadwgan
21	"Burke's Peerage" says Dolygaer, Breconshire, Wales.	Elystan ap Cyhelin, Glodrydd
22	ELSTAN (or ELYSTAN) GLODRYDD , founder of the fifth of the 'royal tribes' of Wales, though scarcely anything is known about him, may serve as the heading of a concise account (compiled entirely from Lloyd, Hist. W.) of the later lords of 'Rhwng Gwy a Hafren' (between Wye and Severn) - the cantreds of Maelienydd and Elfael; pedigree in Lloyd, op. cit., 770. Elstan (Hist. W., 406) had a son, Cadwgan, who had three sons. One of these, Idnerth, also had three sons; of these, Madog (d. 1140) had five sons. Two of Madog's sons, Hywel and Cadwgan, were killed in 1142, and a third, Maredudd, in 1146; the other two, CADWALLON (d. 1179) and EINION CLUD (d. 1177), ruled respectively over Maelienydd and Elfael. They were not on good terms, and in 1160 Cadwallon seized Einion and handed him over to Owain Gwynedd, who surrendered him to Henry II; but Einion escaped from custody. In 1163 both brothers rallied to the banner of Owain Gwynedd at Corwen, and later both were homagers of the 'lord' Rhys ap Gruffydd; both, again, co-operated in the re-establishment of Cwm Hir abbey, 1176. Of Cadwallon's three sons, Maelgwn (who took the cross in 1188) d. in 1197; his son Cadwallon d. in 1234. Einion Clud had two sons: the elder, EINION (AB EINION CLUD), usually known as 'Einion o'r Porth,' is said to have m. a daughter of the 'lord' Rhys, took the cross in 1188, and d. in 1191. In the 13th and 14th cent, the house of Mortimer (q.v.), which had from an early date encroached upon the lands of the Elstan dynasty, succeeded eventually in acquiring complete possession of them.

34	"He was Town Clerk in Suffield from 1682 to 1708 as schoolmaster and he was paid 20 pounds a year. He was brought to New England in 1638 when but two years old by his parents and became one of the original proprietors of Suffield, CT. with a grant of 50 acres on Feather St. in 1674. It is a tribute to the pioneer spirit in the Austin blood stream that his Great-grandson Moses Austin and his G G Grandson Stephen Austin were the founders of the first Anglo colony in Texas. It is for them that Austin Texas today bears its name."	Anthony Austin, Sr.

38	I'm not convinced that this is the correct Frank M Bilyeu. There is a photo of Frank and his wife--labeled Mary--at George and Sophia's 50th anniversary part in late 1946 (note that Paradine died in May, 1946). However, he is buried in the same cemetery as the parents of George and Frank Bilyeu.	Francis Marion Bilyeu
39	Possibly son of John Bilyeu's 2nd wife Rachel Carr, as he is described by Delilah as her half-brother in her Indian Wars Widow's Pension application. 09 Jan 2010 23:17:11	Joseph Bilyeu
40	I'm skeptical about his being married to Nancy Workman and Mary Jane Coker. Note that his son John then marries a Nancy Workman. I can't help but wonder if Mary Jane Coker & MJ Dyer are the same person. Note, too, that daughter Nancy marries a Dyer. I think someone got mixed up. 08 Jan 2010 23:31:29	Peter Bilyeu
