Mary Cashman Dick

GEDCOM Note

• I think the wrong parents are listed- Samuel Burkhart LCRZ-9ZW, Margaret Clapper LCRZ-9H2. There is a separate Mary Jane BURKHART, FS 9V7C-T6R that has these parents and a different husband- Samuel Eastright
• 1850 census was removed, 1850 census shows 1833 for birth which matches 9V7C-T6R, but correct Mary born 1835
• There is another Samuel Burkett LRMB-HB7, married to Mary Ann Myers, that has been put for her father, but this Samuel died 3 years before her birth.
