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 with an "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 appears, given the names shared for 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 so he was also not her father. 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 4: 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 5: 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?
Notation 6: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 7: Known ancestor of Carol on maternal side of her family tree.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
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: 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".

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Her maiden name has been shared/spelt as Hickson or Hixson. I went with the Hixon spelling used by William G. Hixon based upon Notation 2.
Notation 2: Many people have her father as Elijah Hixon/Hixson and base this upon his Revolutionary War Soldier Pension application, in Ohio, where a daughter named Rachel Hixon is mentioned in this application. At the time of Elijah Hixon'2 application, Joseph Robert Little McCoskey and Rachel Hixon were married and living in Vigo County, Indiana. Another resource, an autobiographical sketch of William G. Hixon published in 1880, shares the account of how he and his two sisters, Rachel and Margaret, were brought by their father [unnamed] to Knox County, Indiana and placed with a relative [unnamed] there due to the death of their mother [unnamed] shortly after Margaret's birth, so about 1806. The father is said to leave Knox County area shortly thereafter and never returned. William G. Hixon took over caring for his sisters when he finished his apprenticeship and they went to Vigo County, Indiana then William G. Hixon went to Parke County, Indiana. In a later publication, in 1990, this autobiographical sketch is reshared however with an addition, from someone else, naming Elijah Hixson as William's father [citing the application mentioned earlier]. Ages of the children often attributed to Elijah Hixson also raises questions on top of one Rachel, said to be his daughter, beng married and living in Indiana at the time of his pension application, where in it he states an unmarried daughter, named Rachel, is living in his household in Ohio [yet Margaret, who is younger than Rachel, isn't?] then compounded with William G. Hixon's account about him and his sisters being brought to Indiana, from Kentucky, due to death of their mother. In William G. Hixon's account, he does not mention having a[n older] brother named Timothy, nor as to having any other siblings outside of the two younger sisters who were taken with him from Kentucky to Knox County, Indiana by their father.
Notation 3: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Thomas Nesbit's parents are unknown. The story, that I've come across while doing research on him, is that Thomas Nesbit was orphaned at a very young age and taken in/helped raised by more than one neighbor. Also, per the story, it is uncertain on if Nesbit was his birth surname or if it was a surname passed along to him by one of the families that took him in/helped raise him. Another source shares parents, and siblings, for Thomas Nesbit. However this source also has info about a Thomas Nesbit who lived in Monroe County, Indiana, United States [and who married someone else and died at a different date] included.
Notation 2: Share DNA matches with some this person's known children's descendants.
Notation 3: Known Direct Ancestors on paternal side of Carol's family tree.
Notation 4: Haven't located 1850 United States Census for Thomas Nesbit's household.
