Notes:
* Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "YOUNG/SCHELL". On March 8, 1947 Harold L. PINKERTON, Sr.
married Dorothy Arlene Buffington, the granddaughter of William H. YOUNG and Julia Ann SCHELL.
* The inspiration for Pinkerton Genealogy by Harold L. PINKERTON and his daughter, Sharon P. WAYLAND came
from communication with Paul W. PINKERTON a distant cousin (now deceased), and his daughter Helen P. RYDELL, who in
1984-1990 worked on mapping the various branches of Pinkerton cousins.
