  * 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).
