    Notes 
    • Charles Sterling Owens shows differing parents, in error, for Louise Tyree. He instead shows her as the daughter of William R. Tyree and Rhonda Ann Henderson.

      However, according to Paul Williams, The Princeton, Gibson County, Indiana death record for Louisa Tyree Sowder (Bk H48, Pg 121) shows her father as William Tyree and her mother as Ellen Forgy. Paul Williams also supplied the following copy of Louise's obituary:

    • Charles Sterling Owens cites Rockcastle Co, KY, Marriages by Bonham & Hiatt, page 168, as the source of their marriage information. He further references the Rockcastle County, Kentucky 1900 census as the source of information on their ten children, Charles, Viola, William Thomas, Nannie, James, Elizabeth Ellen, Fannie Ray, Pearl, Samuel Jay and Lucy Thelma.

      Janice (db4565@dragonbbs.com) shows that they were also the parents of Charles, Viola, William, Nannie, James Mack, Fanny Ray, Pearl, Samuel and Lucy. It appears that most of the children also moved to Gibson County, Indiana.
