    • Fern has a note from her grandmother Augusta saying that Maria married a Venske or Fenske, and for a time lived in Sturgis, Michigan. Her grandmother remembers that a Skyler Su(a)venski/Fenski came to see her in Sturgis in the late 50's. Maria lived with her son John at the time of the St. Joseph County, Michigan census of 1900 and 1910.

    • The names of the children Mary and Andrew JESSE, are based on list prepared by their granddaughter, Augusta Jesse Buchholz. Augusta's granddaughter, Fern Falkenstein Bengelsdorf, has the original list, and gave a copy of it to Dorothy Ball Williams. It APPEARS that George and Anna were the oldest children, and Amelia the youngest. This seems logical since George and Anna appear to have been the first to emigrate. The birthdates of the other children are ESTIMATED based on this assumption. If they were not listed in birth order, this is likely incorrect.
