• Notes

  [Some sources wrongly recorded Ellen Swezey's husband's name as Capt. John Petty. However, in the 1880 census record he was clearly recorded in Stephen J. Sweezey's household, following Ellen Petty, daughter, as Henry C. Petty, son. Both Ellen and Henry are marked as married. A memorial stone to Capt. Henry C. Petty can be found at the Woodland Cemetery, Bellport, between Ellen's gravestone and that of her parents.]
