Source notes

• The family of Samuel Shaner and Harriet Brey could not be located in the 1860 census using the Ancestry.com search index.
• The copy in Ancestry.com for the 1900 census was dim in some places.

Research

• The census shown for Harriet Shaner, b. 1815 are consistent, but she may be too young to be a daughter of Michael Brey
