Notes
a. Note:   to be in reference to Mary "PollY' Gunnoe and the Gunnoe family (pp. 386-7).
  G.P. Goode has connected her father Daniel H. Gunnoe (Yadkin SC (incorrect as this is located in NC). He suggests that Gunnoe is connected to a French Huguenot family, Francis Gano who settled in New York. One descendent, John Gano, became a well-known Baptist minister, one of the first Trustees of Brown University, formed to educate a Baptist clergy. His wife was Mary Stites. The book indicates that Mary Gunnoe's father was one of his sons, Daniel H. Gunnoe, who married Ralph Stewart's daughter, Sallie Stewart, who already had two children out of wedlock, Robert Stewart and Mary Gunnoe.
  This information, however, cannot be confirmed by census records or Monroe County educational records that indicate that Mary was younger than several of her Gunnoe siblings, so no one seems to be certain where this information originated about her being an illegitimate daughter, especially since she does not have the last name Stewart as her older brother Robert did.
