Notes:

* The name of "James" is not clearly legible and written in a rather uncommon format - but "JAMES" does appear to be the most probable interpretation. Because of deterioration of the page, the death year of Jackson M. Yancey is no longer visable - but is here taken from another source.

+ "And." (many interpret this as Andrew) is not easily legible in the Bible record and may actually be Col. (Colonel) - a title Thornton Yancey is known to have used.
