  10. ↑ His birth date, if calculated from the age (80 yrs, 8 mos, 18 days) and date of death (6 Nov 1869) on his gravestone, would be February 19, 1789. However, the gravestone inscription could be interpreted to mean he was in his 80th year (thus, 79 at death). Since he is enumerated in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses as, respectively, age 60 and age 70, a birthdate of February 19, 1790 would seem more tenable.
  11. ↑ Dames Quarter - plot on White's lot
  12. ↑ Listed as Levin SHORES, Sr., white, male, age 70, farmer, $250 real property, $100 personal property, born in Maryland, living in household of Asbury McGRATH.
    No known family connection between McGRATH, or his presumed spouse Catherine who is also listed in the household, and Levin SHORES. In fact, the entry may be in error, as Levin is listed as owning realty, and McGRATH is not - a strong indication that McGRATH was probably renting space on Levin's property.
