Notes:
*   The George A. PINKERTON Family Bible was passed down from George A. PINKERTON to his son, Dr. Burton Leroy PINKERTON, then to his son, Burton L. PINKERTON, Jr., then to his first cousin, Betty PINKERTON HENDRICKS, then to her brother, Harold LeRoy PINKERTON, Sr. who has the five original front pages containing George A. PINKERTON'S hand written entries into the Family Bible for each of his eight children.
*   After Emily M. PINKERTON PAUL'S death in 1942, Frank E. PAUL married Della Virginia COFFMAN in October of 1943. (20)
*   There is a discrepancy in Emily PINKERTON PAUL'S middle name: G.A. Family Bible has "Miley", Frank's WWI Draft Registration Card has "Mary".
*   There is a discrepancy in Emily Pinkerton PAUL'S birth year: 1878 or 1879.
*   Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "FRANK & EMILY PAUL". Harold Leroy Pinkerton, Sr. is the great-grandson of George A. PINKERTON.
*   The inspiration for PINKERTON Genealogy by Harold L. PINKERTON and his daughter, Sharon P. WAYLAND came from communication with Paul W. PINKERTON (1915-1990) a distant cousin , and his daughter Helen P. RYDELL, who in 1984- 1990 worked on mapping the various branches of PINKERTON cousins, descended from Hugh PINKERTON (1767-1852).
