Notes:
  (a) Jessie may have lived in Cambridge, MA as a teenager. (See: FGS Notes for Frank A. Gilman.)
  (b) Ervin & Jessie Ryant Residence Record (5, 5a, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 42) Ervin and Jessie were living with his father in Unity Plantation, Maine in 1910. (48) They were then living in Pittsfield, Maine from, at least 1910-1920. (13,14,15,16) They came to Lowell in 1922. (42) See: FGS Notes for Ralph S. Pushor Sr.
  1918     Pittsfield, Maine (16)
  1922/1924   9 Ellis St Lowell MA
  1925/1929   14 McFarlin Ave Lowell, MA
  1929/1930   1 Stevens St Lowell, MA
  1937/1941   Pleasant St Tewksbury, MA
  1942/1945   687 Rogers St Lowell, MA (17)
  (TSH is Tewksbury State Hospital)
  (c) Gerald & Marilyn Wright, Residence Record (42)
  (d) Aldamah Franklin Gilman: 1924 Lowell City Directory; Living with sister Jessie at 9 Ellis Ave. (5b)
  (e) Jessie's mother, Katherine Weymouth, was living with her in 1925/1927 (5a, 42) at 14 McFarlin Ave. (Death certificate on file: Lowell, MA)
  (f) Catherine's birth mother was Jessie Ryant, but she was adopted by her grandmother, Catherine (aka Katie) (Weymouth) Gilman. (43) She was living with Katie in Pittsfield in1920 (4a); they moved to Lowell about 1924 and moved in with Charles (Ervin) and Jessie Ryant at 14 McFarlan Ave. (5a)
  (g) The article in the Lowell Sun, dated 1/27/1941 (page 97) (40c), refers to Jessie's brother Aldamah who died Jan. 16, 1941 in Pittsfield, Maine. He is listed in (1) as Allie. (See: FGS Notes for Frank A. Gilman.)
  (h) Clyde Gilman, who died 7/17/1940 in Lowell, MA, was a very distant relative from a different branch of the Gilman family.
  (J) Anna Mae (Fellows) Ryant: D: Jan. 10, 2013 (30)
  (k) Birth records for Blanche, Ethel, Eva, Aldamah and Jessie do not exist as birth registration in Maine was not required until 1895. (per Dover-Foxcroft Town Clerk)
  (l) Jessie's Obituary has three major errors. Her middle initial is wrong; her middle name was Maud (1-8, 9, 10, 16, 17, 19, 28, 42). Prior to 1922 Dover-Foxcroft was two separate towns. She was born in Foxcroft in 1890. (26) Dover-Foxcroft is in Maine, not Massachusetts as shown.
  (m) After WW2, and sometime into the 1950's, Jessie, Ervin and Bradley lived in a small trailer on Alfred Brunk's farm in Merrilsville, NY. Their only source of water was a spring that ran down the hill adjacent to the trailer. (43)
  (n) Alfred Brunk: b: Dec. 3, 1907; died: Mar. 1, 1969; Oneida, Madison, New York (29, 34)
  (o) Charles F Laflair: D: Feb. 16, 1962; Buried: St Huberts Cemetery, Star Lake, NY (35a, 35b, 35c)
  (p) Mother listed as Florence Robertson is not accurate. (28, 43)
  (q) Jervis Library, Rome, NY (29, 33, 34, 35a)
  (r) Charles Ervin Ryant: Middle name was Ervin (per direct contact from his son Bradley to the author.) The name "Irving" in (17) is wrong.
  (s) Conflict in date of Bradley's death is confirmed by notice in Syracuse Post Standard; Cremation is assumed as funeral home was no help, there were no services, and there is no record of burial.
  (t) Name Variations: Charles (Chas) Ryant (Riant, Ryan); Gilman (Tilman); Pushor (Pusher)
