• Notes

  There is a strange situation with respect to the documentation of Irene's birth in Pittsford. An index card transcription shows her birth date, 27 Aug 1798, as recorded by Benjamin5 Cooley, Town Clerk. Some modern records show Irene to be a twin sister of Asenath yet no index card was prepared for Asenath. How could Asenath be Irene's twin yet there is no record showing that?
