Notes

Birth

Romaine Stauffer calculated Benjamin Buckwalter's birth date from information on Benjamin's gravestone. The date is different from other published dates that gave 1799 as the year of her death. The gravestone is weathered, but it appears to give his age at death as 74. If not 74, it appears 71 is the alternative reading.
