Census has an Edward, age 2 in 1870, & a John, 1/2, who Nonie said was born
posthumously.[5]
1 The author has drawn an arrow from "Hannah" to Michael and/or Bridget, below.
2 "Bridget" here & on the next line probably refers to the mother's being listed by this name in these baptism records, rather than either "Mary" or "Ellen."
3 Does not indicate whether he was the stepson of Dan McCauley or if McCauley was his stepson. See Biographical Cards for possible clarification.
4 "She" here apparently refers to the daughter, Lavise (see entry for John Burns, above).
5 That is, after Patrick Carmody's death (drowning) in late 1869 or early 1870.
