Notes
a. Note:   [Shadr.ged]
  Found Noah and family on the 1865 census for Wright County, Minnesota in Middleville.
 Also a Land Patent in Wright County, Minnesota 1871.
 Noah and family on the 1870 Wright County, census.
 Noah seems to be the first of the family to move to Minnesota.
  From brochures such as "Advantages to Settlers" and "Minnesota Pamphlet for Settlers"
 The lands present unsurpassed advantages. Farmers from the Eastern states are selecting these lands in preference over all others for the purpose of raising wheat, the great staple article of Western commerce. These counties also contain an abundance of fine hardwood timber, which is in great demand for various purposes, and finds a ready market along the railroads, and pays not only for the clearing of the land, but for the land itself.
 The most of this district comprises as heavily timbered lands and as productive soil as can be found in this state, or in the US. The surface isa gently rolling; the soil is deep, black loam, with vegetable mold, and produces extraordinary crops of wheat, rye, oats, corn and vegetables. The land is well watered by many streams and innumerable beautiful lakes, with clear water, sandy and pebbly shores, and abounding fish.
