    Notes 
    • (My grandmother, her half-sister, told me she was undisciplined and so, when her father died, was taken to live at a place near unto but unknown to her half-siblings Jessie and William Simon.  They were not allowed to see or associate with her half-siblings because she was considered a bad influence.  When Jessie was an adult, she attempted to find Amy but was unable to locate her.)
