    Notes 
    • DOB 5 Jul 1848 and "half-brother" from "Reminiscences of the past Fifty Years" by William T Holliston Feb 1914
      Alternative DOB is 5 Jul 1845 based on info from headstone in Granite Falls

      probably not the son of Mary McGunn as she is not present in 1850 census and he is listed after the younger children in the 1860 census
