Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Jane Thompson is with Robert Curry in the 1850 US Census. Her relationship has been transcribed as "implied" relationship of a daughter named Jane aged 33 years. The particular census taker's handwriting had their "3"'s being pretty similar to how they wrote their number "5"'s, however Jane's line lists her birthplace as North Carolina which hints this is Jane Thompson, aged 53/55 years in age in the household with Robert.
Notation 2: The Robert Curry, who married Jane Thompson in 1832, in Vigo county, Indiana, is not the same Robert Curry who married Artimesia Hill, in 1834 in Mercer county, Kentucky. Jane is still alive and in same household with Robert Curry in the 1850 US Census and looks as though, given the names in the 1850 household, she may have had only one child with Robert Curry. The Robert Curry, who married "Polly" Skinner in 1811 in Mercer County, Kentucky, had a daughter named Artimesia Curry who married in Mercer county, Kentucky and later died in Kentucky, which tilts the scales - in my mind - to her father was not the Robert Curry who married Jane Thompson in 1831. It appears that the Robert Curry, who is in Sullivan county's 1850 US census, did have a prior marriage that resulted in at least 3 children, as their birth estimates predate his marriage to Jane Thompson, but I don't know "who", "when" and/or "where".
Notation 3: At this time, I haven't located an 1860 or 1870 US census with Robert Curry and/or Jane Thompson Curry appearing in it. I also have not come across any death notices, estate/probate adverts, death/burial records for either one of the two. In terms of Mary, Robert B., and Eliner/Eleanor Curry - I can only find censuses for Robert B. Curry and his later burial but nothing for Mary or Eliner/Eleanor Curry after the 1850 US Census. Robert B. Curry doesn't appear to have ever married.
Notation 4: Included as part of my research - but only due to show "yes, I looked there, and yes - I saw it". The information shared by this source either conflicts with itself and/or lacks sources to help back some/any of it up with. For example, the Find A Grave pages sharing Robert and Jane Thompson were buried in Mercer County, Kentucky but "Burial details unknown" and no mention of any sources to help share they were buried there versus in Indiana or that Jane or having the children listed on those pages ... and the FamilySearch one world tree page for Robert Curry currently has him listed with 2 different sets of parents and 3 wives, [also currently] has him listed to passing in 1851 but having children up to 1856 with Artimesia Hill - so conflicts with the later children's birth years and/or him being in Sullivan County, Indiana in 1850 and also with him and Jane being together in that 1850 census/her stated to passing later in 1874?

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: I have not been able to narrow down his parents. James Curry and Ann Curry, who married in Rockingham County, Virginia and died in Mercer County, Kentucky are one couple he is sometimes listed, in other trees, as to being a child of as they did have a son named Robert [but he was the Robert who married Artimesia Hill?]. There are three other couples he can sometimes be listed as a child of: William Curry and Sarah Bingham, Edward Curry and Lucy Cook and James Curry and Margaret Ann Garner.
Notation 2: Jane Thompson is with Robert Curry in the 1850 US Census. Her relationship has been transcribed as "implied" relationship of a daughter named Jane aged 33 years. The particular census taker's handwriting had their "3"'s being pretty similar to how they wrote their number "5"'s, however Jane's line lists her birthplace as North Carolina which hints this is Jane Thompson, aged 53/55 years in age in the household with Robert.
Notation 2: There are two Robert Curry censuses, both with having young children in the household - one has 3 and the other has 4, in "places of interest" of my research: Mercer County, Kentucky and Sullivan County, Indiana. Included both since I am not sure if either is for "my" Robert Curry ... or not.
Notation 3: The Robert Curry, who married Jane Thompson in 1832, in Vigo county, Indiana, is not the same Robert Curry who married Artimesia Hill, in 1834 in Mercer county, Kentucky. Jane is still alive and in same household with Robert Curry in the 1850 US Census and looks as though, given the names in the 1850 household, she may have had only one child with Robert Curry.

Notation 3: Some online trees share her with a maiden name of Bradley. However, per my own research, it appears that her maiden name was Radley.
Notation 4: Some attribute her to being a daughter of Ichabod Radley and his wife, Hannah Bush. However, my research doesn't help support that connection. Ichabod Radley may been related, as an uncle perhaps, but what I found for him doesn't help support the thoughts of him and his wife having a child being born, or later marrying, in Ripley County, Indiana. I am not 100% certain about John Radle and Sarah Jones, whom I've attributed to being Hannah's parents, but about 70-75%. Would like to find a bit more information about Hannah Radley Hamilton.

Notation 1: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 2: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.
Notation 3: At the time I came across Elizabeth Pittman's entry on FamilySearch's one world tree, shared as a Citation here, she was mistakenly listed with an additional spouse, also with the surname of Johns, and set of children with that additional spouse. However, the person, who added this addtional spouse and set of children, didn't factor in location and dates - as the marriage to the additional spouse as well as the birth of 'their' children took place in England and also 3 to 4 decades before Elizabeth Pittman's birth in Kentucky, United States. Another reminder to look over online trees, individual or one world style, with a skeptical eye and not a 'convenient resource' to just simply copy from.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Maiden name has also been shared, by some, as Conney, Cosney and some other variations. I went with Cooney.
Notation 2: On most records, of the children, the mother is most often listed as Ellen. On Hugh Hayes's death record the mother was listed "Nellie". The Ireland Death Index record also shares Ellen. I forget to note where I found Eleanora as her longer, or more formal, first name thought.
Notation 3: I got vague dates of birth and death from other trees, but I can't quite fully "peg down" those dates or locations as of this point in time.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Surname may also be shared at times/by some as Hays or Hayse in some online trees. I went with Hayes based upon children's baptismal records and also the spelling used by Michael & Hugh on their census and death records, as well their obituaries/death notices in newspapers, in the United States.
Notation 2: On most records, of the children, the father is most often listed as John. On a death record the father was listed as Michael, so that's where I came across Michael as probably being part of his name.
Notation 3: I got the vague dates of birth and death from other trees, but I can't "peg down" those dates or locations as of this point in time - as displayed with my sharing two death index records which one, of the two, may be for him? The two Ireland Death Index records have the estimated birth year averaging to be about 1797.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with some this person's known children's descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.

Notation 6: Tentative, or speculative, set of parents'names, for Micheal John Hayes, I have are William Hayes and Catherine _____.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Often listed with having the middle name of Washington, but that hasn't been confirmed. The youngest son, also named George, has shared a middle initial of "W" and is listed by many as "Jr.", however this isn't enough to confirm the elder George's middle name being Washington or even starting with a "w" as I've come across other "Jr"s that only shared their father's first names and not also sharing the same middle names.
Notation 2: Often listed with birth place being Florida, or even - more precisely - Saint Augustine, Saint John County, Florida. Reason I've seen shared for the East Florida location is due to banishment of the parents, and other Loyalists, from South Carolina area due to a Confiscation Act in 1782. Another location I've seen shared for him is Florida, Montgomery County, New York, United States. I went with the majority thought of the current state of Florida.
Notation 3: Have seen Sarah "Sally"'s surname shared as Oneal.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on paternal side of her family tree.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: First name may actually been Esther? I have come across some women, named Esther, having their names shared as Easter or Ester on paper records. The marriage records are all over the place with the site-shared transcriptions of her name, with "Easter" being one. In the 1850 US Census, her named is shared as "Esther" there. In my tree I suppose one could say I "went with the crowd" and have her shared in it as "Easter Stice".
