Harold L. PINKERTON Genealogy Source Notebook "HORNER/PINKERTON/THOMAS". Harold is the 
great-great grandson of George 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.

Selim is Sarah's second husband after the death of Jeremiah Horner. Selim and Sarah THOMAS 
lived their married life in Lebanon, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.
