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".
Notation 2: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 3: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Most often listed, without sources, as to passing in Roane County, Tennessee, United States or Tennessee, United States. However, given his children, post-marriage, resided in, and around, Scott County, Illinois, United States area in with the 1850 U.S. Census has him listed being in the household of one of his sons, plus receiving a Military Warrant in 1852 for 80 acres of land in Scott County, it leans more toward, after his wife's death in 1845, that Alexander Howard remained, and passed away, in Illinois, United States. Also there's a probate record for an Alexander Howard filed in Scott County, Illinois. I have not come across info for his burial location, but it may be he was also buried in Canatsey Cemetery and his grave was unmarked or his headstone is too damaged/missing?
Notation 2: Share DNA matches with some this person's known children's descendants.
Notation 3: Known Direct Ancestors on maternal side of Carol's family tree.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: This Andrew Patterson is sometimes confused with another Andrew (Jackson) Patterson whom married and later died in Arkansas or Alabama. The Andrew Patterson, whom I descend from, appears to be from Pennsylvania and by 1840 he went to Illinois where he married twice and died in Scott County, Illinois in 1861.
Notation 2: I got the date of birth from his Find A Grave memorial page and one world tree sites' entries, but referring to Notation 1 about him being confused by some with another Andrew J(ackson) Patterson who lived/married/died in another state - I am not certain if this is his birth date in terms of month, day and year.
Notation 3: Name of child taken from photo of headstone shared on FindAGrave's site.
Notation 4: Possibly had at least two brothers, James and Joseph Patterson. These two males, and one with his wife and daughter, are listed as part of Andrew's household for 1850 Census in Scott County, Illinois.
Notation 5: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.
