Transcription
A hand-drawn pencil pedigree chart, faint and rubbed in places. Left-to-right generation flow, with curly brackets grouping spouses to their children. The chart records the seven children of Mary Anne Perry (the compiler’s mother “Minnie”) and Samuel Gaillard FitzSimons Sr. — that is, the compiler Amy and her siblings — together with their respective spouses and grandchildren.
Top of page — the parents (Generation 1 of this chart):
Mary Annie Perry
Samuel Gaillard FitzSimons
Top center, a small bracketed group annotated “died in early childhood”:
Dunkin Perry [pencil capital reads as “H” but is Amy’s open-top D — cf. the canonical family-Bible record on p630 and Amy’s memoir Book 2, p7]
Thomas Porcher
Samuel Cashell [= Samuel Cashel FitzSimons]
[Three of Amy’s seven listed siblings — Dunkin Perry (b. 1893, d. 1895), Thomas Porcher, and Samuel Cashel FitzSimons — did not survive to maturity; this bracketed group memorializes them.]

AI Notes
Hand-drawn pencil pedigree chart, faint and partly rubbed, showing the seven children of Mary Anne Perry ‘Minnie’ + Samuel Gaillard FitzSimons Sr. — i.e., the compiler Amy FitzSimons Walker’s parents, her own generation. Four branching brackets show Amy, Theodore Barker, Mary Annie and Samuel Gaillard (Jr.) with their spouses and offspring; a smaller bracketed group at top center holds three siblings (Dunkin Perry, Thomas Porcher, Samuel Cashel) labelled ‘died in early childhood.’ Key names: Theodore Barker; Donald McKay Allston (matching the p576 newspaper clipping); Amarintha Theodora; Emma Dee b. Oct 18 1915; Thomas Porcher; Samuel Cashell (= Samuel Cashel). The bracketing makes plain that this is the compiler’s own family — Amy and her siblings and their children. ‘note 8’ at lower right is a workbook cross-reference.
The chart is the compiler’s own family — Amy + her siblings + their issue. The Allston names match the C&S Bank newspaper clipping on p576. The wife’s surname “Saddler” in the Samuel Gaillard branch is uncertain — the pencil is so faint there that only one or two letters are sharply legible.
