Notes for John Royse
Probably the same person as John Royse born ca 1863, son of William Royse and Georgia Ann Riddle, but possibly instead the same person as John M. Royse born ca 1863, son of Moses C. Royse and Lydia Day. I do not have marriage information for either of them.
Most likely he died before 1890, since there were no children younger than Sam.
Notes for Alice Jarrells
Her maiden name is from the marriage record of her son John to Alice Packham.
