* Notation for death of Sarah Ann Bushart says she was 3 days old when she died, thus year given in Bible record is incorrect; it should be 1835.

** Ann C. [Lewis] Bushart's death date is incorrect, because she was alive when the census was taken in June 1860, and she could not have died before the birth of her son, Caleb Bushart, in March 1860.
