Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Uncertain about birth date. Also seen a birth year of 1797 shared for David Hess.
Notation 2: Some online trees share David Hess's wife as Mary Ellen McBride or Mary Ellen _____. Joshua Newbold Hess's death certificate shares his parents names, and this may be where some mistook/mistranscribed his mother's name to having a middle name of Ellen instead of it being her maiden name of Eller.
Notation 3: Last two children, of David and Mary "Polly" (Eller) Hess, were born in Indiana, United States. The older children were all born in Pennsylvania, United States.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.
