Note on birth years: Most of the children in this family have 2 or more different birth years, depending on the source of the information. I have no idea which birth years are right, and would love to hear from anyone who can clarify this situation. However, certain facts (if true) such as Christening and death dates seem to indicate that the earlier birth years may be the correct ones.

3. Ibid. p. 9. Actually, p. 9 says that it was Elizabeth who died in 1853 in Omaha, NE, but elsewhere in the book it seems clear that these two girls were mixed up on p. 9.
4. Ancestry.com, Utah Cemetery Inventory -- Wellsville City Cemetery.
5. www.familysearch.org -- Ancestral File. Pedigree Chart for Sylvia Pearl Parkinson. Shows birth as 20 Mar 1840. But other records show poss. later, maybe even up to 1843?.
6. Ancestry.com, Utah Cemetery Inventory -- Wellsville City Cemetery. Lists Timothy's birth as Aug 1840. Henry was younger and could not have been born in Mar. 1841 or 1840. This leaves 1842 or 1843, unless of course Timothy was in fact born earlier than 1840, as another source reports. The Utah Cemetery Inventory says Henry's birth was on 31 Mar 1813. This wrong birth year is also mentioned in the Parkinson book, as being shown on his gravestone.
