Transcriber's Notes:
1 likely died after June 1, 1880 as she is listed on the census but not the mortality schedule, age 13
2 listed on 1880 census as age 5, probably not a twin
3 listed on 1880 census as Lucillus, male, age 4, probably not a twin
4 Mary is not listed in 1860 census, so would have been born after, died age 3 or less. There is also a child of Ebenezer & Evaline named Mary in the 1870 census aged 3 months, not found in the 1880 census.
5 1860 census shows Stephen had a twin brother Sylvester
6 Martha is listed in 1860 census as age 36, wife of Peter B., mother of Ruth, who is buried next to her
