• Notes

  According to Amanda's great-granddaughter Pauline Moore, Amanda had no teeth and constantly ate scraped apples. She also smoked a corn cob pipe. William and Amanda were called Grandpa Billy and Grandma Billy. Maybe all those apples were good for her as she lived to over 94 years of age! After William died she began living with her children who appeared to care for her until her death. In the 1920 census she was living with her daughter Emily. A letter dated in October 1921 reflects she was living with her son Jeremiah (Jerry). My aunt (Mandy's great-granddaughter) insist name was Susan Amanda not Amanda Susan. However, after reviewing census reports and the headstone of one of her children I believe "Amanda Susan" is correct. She and William had nine children together, all are linked here.
