Notes
Military
Percy registered in Dutchess County on the same date that Milton registered in Albany. Both records mention an Edith L (or Lawrence) Van Keuren as their closest relative, but give different addresses for her. Both were born in the same year (suggesting that they were not brothers). Percy lists Edith L as his wife.Endnotes
