Documentation:
1. James Harvey KITCHELL b.date is questionable. His gravestone says Died 24 Mar
1862 Aged 71 and BIBLE RECORDS COLLECTED MORRIS CO., NJ by Mabel Day Parker 1937
Morristown Chapter also show b: N.J. 1791. Yet some of the US Census records
(1850 and 1860) indicate he may have been born ca 1798. The Census records for
James and some of his children reporting parents b.place mostly list b.place for
James Harvey as NEW JERSEY, but a couple say NEW YORK. I feel he said "NEWARK"
and it was recorded as NEW YORK and is misleading for New Jersey.
2. All of the marriage dates were looked up at the Crawford County Courthouse
Records in 1997 and also confirmed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index
1763-1900 which is online at the Illinois Secretary of State's Office web page.
3. Probable burial place for 3rd child Julia A. Kitchell Allen is surmised
because her husband, Judge James Cameron Allen is buried at Haven Hill Cemetery,
Olney, IL and FindAGrave.com shows "MOTHER ALLEN" in the same cemetery who is
probably Julia. Her d.date "aft 1883" comes because she and her husband are
written up in the History of Crawford and Clark Counties, Illinois, edited by
William Henry Perrin. O.L. Baskin & Co., Historical Publishers, Lakeside
Building, Chicago, 1883 and she is alive at publishing date in 1883.
4. James Alvin KITCHELL's widow Sarah Elizabeth MAUZY Kitchell married a second
time in 1869 to her widower brother-in-law Edmond Courthouse HASKETT, after his
wife Emeline KITCHELL died.
5. Most of the b.dates and d.dates have also been checked at the gravestones and
cemetery records in the Palestine Cemetery.
