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.

Carol A. Wells-Perlaky's Notations:
Notation 1: Married Surname/Spouse's Surname may be shared, by others, as Wampler. Wampfler, with the "f" in the middle, is said to been the original spelling/surname and the "f" was dropped by those after immigrating to the United States in mid-1700s.
Notation 2: SShared parents' names oft-shared for Anna Magdalena Knutti in print/self-published publications. However going further back tends to be rather sketchy and lacking of sources.
Notation 3. Parents names shared in baptism/christening records.
Notation 4. Direct Ancestor of Carol A. Wells-Perlaky.
