Notes

Note 		The notation on the Samuel Sylvester headstone located in Kinnamon Cemetery, Hamilton County, Indiana states Samuel, Husband of Leah Sylvester, Died May 5, 1850, Aged 61 years, 4 months and 22 days. Computing backwards from his stated date of death as 05 May 1850 and using his stated age at death, his actual birth date is computed as exactly 13 December 1788 and not 13 December 1790 as has been widely documented by various genealogical researchers.
