  10. ↑ Emily has a middle name, but the initial provided in S1 is not legible.
  11. ↑ Spelling found in 1900 census record.
  12. ↑ 12.0 12.1 1860 Census indicates Emily was 30 years old as of Jul 1860 and had been born in Kentucky.
  13. ↑ I think "M.F." is a phonetic error based on the data taker hearing "Emily Francis", thinking heard "M Francis".
