Source of all material used

The author cited these 34 works throughout the text by roman numeral, for example “(III; p.4).” They are reproduced here as printed, with obvious OCR scanning errors corrected. Two entries contain details (a date and a county name) too garbled in the scan to confidently correct; these are flagged below rather than guessed at.

XV. LOOKING BACK — FAYETTE COUNTY ALABAMA 1824-1974; vol. 3 (Fayette County Historical Society; Fayette, Alabama; 1974)

XVI. OLD TUSCALOOSA LAND OFFICE RECORDS & MILITARY WARRANTS 1821-1855; Marilyn Davis Barefield (Southern Historical Press; [location and date unclear in scan] South Carolina; 1934)

OCR note: The scan reads the publisher’s location as “Early, S.C.” and the date as “1934.” Southern Historical Press’s genealogical titles by Marilyn Davis Barefield were generally published in the 1980s, and the press was based in Easley, South Carolina — so “Early” may be a misread of “Easley,” and “1934” may be a misread of a later year (e.g. “1984”). Left as scanned pending someone checking a physical copy or library catalog record.

XVII. [COUNTY NAME UNCLEAR], NORTH CAROLINA (Public Records on File in County Courthouse)

OCR note: The scan reads “CHANGE COUNTY NORTH CAROLINA,” which is not a real North Carolina county. Given the family’s documented ties to Orange County, NC (which Chatham County was later split from), this is likely a misread of “Orange County” or “Chatham County,” but the scan is too degraded to tell which with confidence. Flagging for human review rather than guessing.
