Notes:
* Carrie's Step-Father: George A. PINKERTON (1844-1909) (4,9,10,11,12)
* Walter G. TREIBLEY, ESQ. mentioned in both wills was C. Alex SEITZINGER'S half-brother, and Carrie V.
WANNAMACHER'S first cousin and brother-in-law; and Mary L. (TREIBLEY) PINKERTON's nephew.
* Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "Carrie SEITZINGER". Harold is the great-grandson of George
A. PINKERTON, Carrie SEITZINGER'S step-father.
* 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.
* The Federal Census data used to compile this Family Group Sheet was culled from the Heritage Quest On-Line
Database.
* The George A. PINKERTON Family Bible front pages, listing the births of his children does not include "Carrie".
