2131	Susan Sharp's Research Notes: Is this kid Sarah A.? If so , I really couldn't read the census taker's writing. Notes of Helen Sharp Morris indicate this is Jennie P. (writing in U.S. Census 1880 looked like Jessire)., but birth dates conflict. The child, Sarah A., appears in Vinton County birth records but not family records or Census records. Helen Sharp Morris' notes indicate that Jennie had 13 children.	Sharp, Jennie P. (I3837)

2141	The census takers handwriting makes it look like her first name is either "Perlina" or "Derlina." It's spelled both ways in other documents.	Cline, Perlina Jane (I1464)
2142	The county of birth comes from this ancestry.com page: https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/7441383/person/-898078409/story Further personal research is needed.	Rutherford, Nancy Ann (I6184)
2143	The date of the 13th is from the NYT obituary.	Haldeman, Walter Newman (I6246)
2144	The DC erroneously records his DOB as 17 Dec 1893. The year is actually 1892. Footnote: Short Footnote: Bibliography: Short Title: DC: WW Taylor Record Type: Certificate of Death, Division of Vital Statistics, Dept. of Health, State of Ohio Name Of Person: William Worland Taylor File Date: 20 DEC 1937 Number: Reg Dist #392, Primary Reg Dist #8187, Reg #4848	Source (S442)

2146	The Denbows in the Civil War: John was the father of Bazzel, Levi, Martin, James, and William who fought with him at one time or another in the 78th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. Another son, George, was in the 27th OVI. John enlisted -- at age 64 -- saying he was 44. According to several entries in his military record he died in Paducah, apparently of "chronic dysentery." Another entry says he died about a month later in Bolivar, Tenn. Family tradition had said he was found in a creek with his long hair embeded in the mud. The Bolivar story would be more consistent with the family story. However, the recent discovery of the diary of a hospital steward from Paducah, Kentucky, almost certainly confirms beyond a reasonable doubt his death in Paducah at the earlier date.	Denbow, John Sr. (I1229)
2147	The Elk Fork Cemetery is located just North of McArthur.	Acord, Olive (I82)
2148	The family believes that Mary Catherine Denbow was the mother of Carl William Denbow Sr. This was based on a deathbed confession. It's also bolstered by DNA autosomal matches of a descendant with Denbow family members in that same line from William Denbow, the Civil War veteran, and the father of Mary Catherine. The father may have been George Miracle, but this is not certain. However, recent DNA evidence does point to someone in the Miracle family as one descendant has a suggestive autosomal match with a person in the Miracle family. Ron Denbow, a direct descendant in this line, says that Mary Catherine and her son lived for quite a few years with her father William, beforre she married William Tecumseh Gramlich in 1910. As a result, Ron says, Carl William became very close to his grandfather William. Ron says that as result of this closeness William's pocket watch was passed from Carl William Sr. to Carl William Jr. to him. Witness Role: Child: [I1052] Carl William DENBOW Witness Role: Mother: [I6358] Mary Catherine DENBOW Fact Flags: Preferred	Denbow, Carl William Sr. (I1052)
