Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Surname spelling can also be shared as Steffey.
Notation 2: Spouse's maiden name is 'technically' unknown. Some theorize it may been Phillippe/Philippe, and may also list her in their trees that way. I have not found any records, at this point in time, to help tilt the scale so I have left it as unknown in my tree.
Notation 3: Date of death, in the newspaper death notice, shares he died on 23 Aug 1838. His headstone shares a death date of 22 Aug 1838.
Notation 4: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on paternal side of her family tree.
