A note on the children's names: David was of course the name of Agnes's
father, David Hamilton Kerr. Henry Parkinson had a sister named Mary Ann,
who moved to New York instead of to Utah. He also had a brother, Amos, who
died as an infant (possibly when Henry was a toddler), and also an older sister
Sarah Ann who appears to have died at age 20 when the family were on their way
to Utah. His older brother Charles Parkinson had stayed behind in
Grantsville when the family moved to Wellsville.
