    Notes 

    • JCMR shows John was born in Lancaster Co, PA, but Michael McDonald has Whitpain Twp, Montgomery Co, Elizabeth of Honeybrook, Chester Co, PA. Moved to Lancaster Co after marriage, and to Steubenville, OH after 1829, to Jackson Co, WV in early 1830s.

      I do not find any Safreeds in the 1840 JC census, but David is married in Meigs Co the last day of 1840. Only sons John and Joseph appear in 1850 Jackson Co, David in Meigs Co, OH.

      Grant District Cemeteries has her name as Rhinehart, not Henicks.
