Notes:
 Birth date from age given at death.
 1840 census shows a son and a daughter, age 10-15, who are otherwise
 undocumented.
 2 children in Evergreen Cemetery do not appear in the census
 in 1850 or 1860:
 son Russel H. died 20 Jun 1858, age 5 years 2 months 6 days.
 son Jay O. died 16 Apr 1862, age 8 years, 28 days
 Jay O. is a mystery.  Russel H. should be in 1855 census.
 Also a mystery is Willey, age 13 in 1870 census, who does not appear in
 the 1860 census.  Also, in 1870 census, Liddie A is assumed to be Lydia
 from the earlier census, but her age is way off, matching instead
 the age of daughter Hannah L., from the 1860 census.
