Notes
The sons Isaac and George D. listed above may be the same person, since their birth dates are just 2 days apart. The former is from Rochester birth records, and the latter from age at death. Possibly the child was named Isaac at birth, and renamed George D. later. There is also a problem with the last two children. It seems possible that they were also identical, with an error of the year of death of one or the other in the Rochester vital records.
