Notes:

The History of Vanderburgh County, Indiana states that "Jane Clinton, who was born in Warren, Ohio, January 20, 1815, the daughter of Jonathan and Letitia (McAlree) Clinton, both natives of Ireland, who came from that country to Ohio and settled in Trumbull County. Thence they came to this County in 1831."

The 1850 census instead lists her place of birth as Kentucky.

Notes:

George Linxwiler, grandfather of Isaac W. Linxwiler, was born in the town of Two Bridges*, Germany, April, 1768, and attended school in his native country from six to fourteen years of age, receiving a good common school education. He then served an apprenticeship of three years, learning the miller's trade. He emigrated to the United States, landing at New York in 1785, and going from there to Pennsylvania. He was married in 1790 to Miss Catherine Stull, a native of the same place in Germany, born June 5, 1767. After coming to New York in 1785, she worked three years in the city to pay her passage to America. They probably resided in Pennsylvania for several years after their marriage, removing to Vanderburgh County previous to 1809. George Linxwiler died February 22, 1857, his wife early in November, 1858.

*Zweibrucken is derived from the fact that there are two bridges in the town. After Romans have settled in this area the Counts of Saarbr?cken (named after the river Saar) founded a castle in 1150 in the loop formed by the small river Schwarzbach just before it merges with the small river Hornbach.
