Notes
a. Note:   IRA AMES' JOURNAL
 (This journal was transcribed from Ira Ames' original handwritten journal)
 I, IRA AMES, am the son of ITHAMER AMES, who was the son of JOSEPH AMES. My Mother's name was HANNAH CLARK, Daughter of WILLIAM CLARK who was the son of SAMUEL CLARK. My Mother's Mother's name was BETSY ROGERS who was the daughter of MARY ROGERS, who was the daughter of BETHIAL xx.
