bullet  General Notes:

On his death certificate, his daughter, Hattie, was the informant and she indicated that David's mother's maiden name was Harriet Hartman. This is interesting....could Sarah Hartman be the same wife known as Harriet Unknown? Otherwise how did his daughter know anything about the name Harriet? (Brian L. Lightfoot)
