Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Variations of surname include Staehle, Stehle, Stehley, Staily, Steely and Starly.
Notation 2: Martin Staley is reportedly said to been born in Lebanon County or Lancaster County, Pennsylvania area. However, there are some questions on my side about this as his father would've immigrated to the United States/American Colonies before 1735 for that to happen, whereas many online trees cite sources where he married Anna Maria Germann in 1734 in Switzerland and Johannes Ulrich Jacob Staehli immigrating in the 1750s, not in 1734 or even 1735. If the 1750s immigration date is correct, then Martin Staley would been born in another country, not in Lebanon or Lancaster county area of Pennsylvania.
Notation 3: Share DNA matches with this person's known descendants.
Notation 4: Known ancestor of Carol on paternal side of her family tree.

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?
