Notes:
*After the death of Joseph PINKERTON in 1854, Susan (Shadow) PINKERTON, mother of Minnie A. "Kitty" PINKERTON, remarried Emanuel L. RIFFERT and had eight additional children. (1870 Federal Census, Tremont, Schuylkill County, PA)
*There is a discrepancy in the birth year of Minnie PINKERTON SUTHERLAND: the cemetery listing gives 1853, the 1850 Federal Census suggests 1849/1850.
*"Heritage Quest On-Line" was the database used for Federal Census records concerning the SUTHERLAND Family of Cass County, Iowa and the PINKERTON's of Pennsylvania.
*Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "JOSEPH PINKERTON FAMILY". Harold is the great-great grandson of Joseph's brother, George PINKERTON of Tremont, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania.
*The inspiration for Pinkerton Genealogy by Harold L. PINKERTON and his daughter, Sharon P.WAYLAND came from communication with a great-grandson of Joseph PINKERTON, Paul W. PINKERTON (1915-1990) a distant cousin, and his daughter Helen P.RYDELL. They worked for many years to map the various branches of Pinkerton cousins descended from Hugh PINKERTON (1767-1852) of Halifax, Dauphin County, PA.
