*Some researchers consider Chesley DAY to be the son of Douglas DAY and Amanda L. CRUM. However, this is doubtful given that Douglas married Amanda's sister Melissa (his third wife) 15 months before Chesley's birth.

**Iva PERRY's second husband was William Malcolm DAY, who was Chesley DAY's half-brother.
