• Notes

  While Hawkins II reported Emma as being born abt 1861, she appeared in the 1860 census with an age of 6. She therefore could not be a child of the union between Sylvester and Lydia Gordon. This, and the age difference between Sylvester and Lydia, suggests that Sylvestor may have had a previous marriage. Brown indicates that Emma was a daughter of Sylvester by his first wife, Charlotte Smith of Patchogue.
