Notes

General:

191110:

This name appears in a bible entry that seems to have been written by Mom or one of the family using her information. I have no other details on this person.

040413: Today I merged all the information on the William Chislett that I had who was married to Sarah Naomi Legge into the more or less vacant spot for a William Chislett, ostensibly a brother of Jane Chislett. The information on the man married to Sarah Naomi Legge was previously disconnected from the family tree and simply included in the file in hopes of someday finding a connection. I am following the lead of David Chislett in his Ancestry.com Chislett family tree in making this connection, though I really do not know how solid his evidence is. I will try and contact him to find out.

Notes

270708:

Note that there is a discrepancy between the dates of birth given by Jennifer Bishop and that found on the gravestone. They are out by almost exactly one year. Unless there were two Wilson Chisletts born in this tiny community one year apart (highly unlikely), one of these dates is in error. I am going with the date on the gravestone for now.
