Notations of Carol A. Wells-Perlaky:

· Her maiden name may have been McBride. However, I have not come across anything to help confirm or support that outside of a couple of family trees that list McBride as her maiden name. Therefore I have not been ablle to ascertain her parents' names.

UPDATE May 2018 to switch birth year from 1793 to 1796, changed wedding date from 1815 to 1820, to correct 1860 Census to being the 1850 US Census and to properly add the 1860 US Census, added number of children (per an obit for one of their children), and to remove "Ellen" as a middle name.
