Source Notes
- Birthplace of Matilda E. "Tillie" Barkley is listed as Muddy Creek Twp., Butler Co. PA, on the basis of her parents, Lot Wilson and Nancy Gallagher place of residence in 1870 and 1880 per federal census.
- It is possible that daughter Luella Barkley, who died in 1918, died at birth; or she may have been as much as 8 yrs. old. By 1910 Tillie had had no children; she would have been 45 yrs old in Feb. 1918 when Luella died. Great-niece Janet Jane Wilson was adopted sometime after Jan. 1920, as she appears in the 1920 census, age 7 mos., with her natural parents; see George Henderson Wilson.
- Per Finke, children of Janet Jane Wilson & Albert Edwin Campbell:
Diane L. Campbell m. John Fair;
Gerald D. Campbell
