Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Some online trees share David Hess's wife as Mary Ellen McBride, Mary Huber or Mary Ellen _____. Joshua Newbold Hess's death certificate shared his parents names, and his mother was listed as Mary Eller. This may be where some mistook/mistranscribed of the handwritten sharing of his mother's name as to her having a middle name of Ellen instead of her maiden name of Eller.
Notation 2: Uncertain about birth date.
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.
