Notes
a. Note:   Per letter from Wayne Sikes to Cousin Martha Hoopaugh, mother of Mary Matilda Ford (Elizabeth Purcell) was 1/2 Indian (likely Shawnee) and did not like to sleep indoors as she had spent most of her life on the frontier. This would make sense in that she travelled with her father a great distance from Indiana to Texas.
