Mrs. Mary Eithel Kern Worley of Bedford, Ind., is daughter of Edward's son Jasper. She gave us (1967) a list of Edward's children which does not entirely tally with the census.

| 8283 | LKH Note: The Abraham Hunt who died 9 Sept 1851 in Randolph County, Indiana is not this Abraham. The Abraham Hunt who died in Indiana was the son of Ralph and Rachel Hunt. See note in Find a Grave. Also notes from Quaker meetings. Information from Tucker's History of Randolph County, Indiana. Published 1882 Another contributor has made the following suggestions. At this time I will keep the spelling from the 1882 source on the memorial. Many people spelled names differently. I don't know which way he spelled it. The "error" could have been made by the person recording the church information. This way, both options are available to the person researching this family. "According to cemetery records, your Abram Hunt's name was actually Abraham. He was born on 10/2/1784. Would you add to your memorial page? Thanks. Source: Cemetery records compiled by Jeannette Swoveland."

| 8286 | LKH note: The date does not match the dates given by Mary Hedges Reiner.

| 8287 | LKH note: The date for the twin boy who dies in infancy does not match the dates given by Mary Hedges Reiner.

|
| 8290 | LKH note: The news of Rev. Jonathan Hedges and his wife Margaret McClung Hedges was covered in multiple newspapers across the nation, including Washington, DC, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and as far away as Honolulu, Hawaii; and undoubtedly many more. Along the way the story was sensationalized to report that Margaret died within ten minutes of hearing of her husband’s death. One version in The Sun of New York went so far as to report “His wife, age 92, ill by his side, said when she heard he was dead, “Well, I’ll go too.” She died within ten minutes.” In any case, the fact that Rev. Jonathan Hedges was a well-known circuit preacher in West Virginia and the story of the aged husband and wife dying within a few hours of each other made for a touching human interest story. | Hedges, Jonathan Kiher (I662)
|
| 8291 | LKH note: The photo of Opal McCane's headstone on Find a Grave shows death year as 1933 and an news article transcribed there proports to be from December 1933.

News articles dated December 1934 are in the Messenger-Inquirer, Owensboro Kentucky; Wilmington News=Journal, Wilmington, Ohio; Courier-Journal, Louisville, Kentucky; The Owensboro Messenger, Owensboro, Kentucky; and the Lexington-Herald, Lexington, Kentucky. | McCane, Opal Floyd (I2168)

| 8293 | LKH note: There are two entries for William Hedges (1765-1848) on Find a Grave. I have entered the Find a Grave information for his burial at Tarlton Cemetery in Pickaway County, Ohio because it is better documented. It matches the documentation in Joanne Eustice's book, matches information on the cemetery card shared on that Find a Grave entry, and is also linked to his wife and children. The other Find a Grave entry gives his burial as Augustus Cemetery, Clearcreek Township, Fairfield County, Ohio; and notes that he is the husband of Catherine Yantis. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/9046635/william-hedges | Hedges, William (I5571)
