Notes

Kevin's paternal great-great-grandmother. BIRTH DATE CONFLICT: FamilySearch (G7NJ-VZY) and FindAGrave say born 1848 (Salem, NJ). However, 1860 census shows 'Mary, F, age 8' in household (→ born ~1852), and a NJ birth record (ark:/61903/1:1:FZQH-QTB) records an unnamed daughter of Joseph Havely and Philippena born 29 Sep 1851 in Stow Creek Township, Cumberland County, NJ. This birth record + census age are internally consistent (born Sep 1851, age 8 in June 1860 census). The '1848' date in FamilySearch may be an error or confusion with Emeima Jane (b.1847). Best current estimate: born ~September 1851, Stow Creek Township, Cumberland County, NJ. Father named in 1871 marriage record: Joseph Haverly. Married Augustus Farnkopf 14 January 1871 in Alloway Township, Salem NJ. Died 22 April 1920 in Bridgeport, Logan Township, Gloucester, NJ. Buried East View Cemetery, Salem, NJ. FamilySearch PID: G7NJ-VZY. Name conflict: FindAGrave memorial #118358084 (Mary E. Frank) lists mother as 'Mary Ellen Haverly Farenkopf (1848-1920)'. Tree previously had 'Mary Ann Haverly'. Both names may be valid (Ann vs Ellen), or one may be an error. FindAGrave source considered more reliable for this detail.
