Notes
Family story: "He (William Wallace Alexander) hung the wallpaper in the bedroom I shared with my sister, in our old farmhouse built by my great-grandfather Thomas Jefferson Samonds. Sharon was just a small township out in Mecklenburg county in those days, of course!" (Source: Mary Anne Samonds Kane - April 2014)
(Possibly William Wallace who would have been about 8-9 years was a Drummer)
