[The death-year column for several entries is partially obscured by a paper photo-mount corner pasted across the right edge of the genealogy. Entries 5 and 6 in particular have death dates whose final digits are physically covered and cannot be recovered by image enhancement. The “19” reading in entry 6’s original transcription was a misread of “18” — children born ~1806 dying ~1900+ would be implausibly old, and the visible letterform is more consistent with an 18-prefix year cut off by the mount.]
