Notes: 
Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "JOSEPH PINKERTON". Harold is the great-great-great 
grandson of Hugh PINKERTON

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.
     He was the great-grandson of Joseph PINKERTON.
