*Gennie is presumed to be the daughter listed as Vashtie ALLEN in the 1880 census. Her tombstone gives her date of death as 16 DEC 1878, but earlier census records are more consistent with a birthdate of 1876.

**The 1900 census showed that Elizabeth had given birth to six children with four living. The 1910 census showed that only three children were still living.
