Notes for SARAH F. LOWE: There is a marriage recorded at Ellis County, Texas for Henry G. Brewer and Sarah F. Lowe dated 12 Nov 1857. Obviously this cannot be this Sarah F. Lowe, although I did previously have the information that Sarah married Henry G. Brewer. I have removed the reference to this second husband, knowing that I should be able to locate the Sarah F. Lowe who DID marry Henry G. Brewer.... |

|
Notes for ELLA M. LOWE: This child (from the age) was named "Maggie" on the 1870 census. All family records name her Ella, and since there is another child named "Margaret" it is clear there is a problem here. Since information is available on both Ella and Margaret it is assumed Ella's name has a version of Margaret in it also. Further, the closeness in age to Ezra suggests that either the birth year is wrong or she is a twin to Ezra Eddy. |
|
Notes for BRYCE B. COSTON: Bryce B. Coston and wife later moved to Hereford and talked his mother-in-law and Bessie, before her marriage, to move to Hereford also. |

It was unclear if Stephen Ground and Julia Copeland were living in the same dwelling in Noland County, and the source of the information that Julia A. Copeland was a Ground(s) was not given. When I recorded this census, I did not record Julia Copeland, which makes me think the connection comes from elsewhere.
