• Notes

  Ref: Pocahontas 1981: 285 These children, by three wives, are as given in this reference. However, the obituary for Mary P. Hinkle says that Emma Arbogast and Jessie Wooddell are her sisters and Frona Williams and Freddie Thompson are her half sisters. It also lists George Phares as Mary's brother (and gives some other sisters). Assuming that Mary's parents were Solomon Phares and Mary Alice Harper (Myles' third wife), then Jessie should have been called a half sister and Frona and Freddie stepsisters. Myles' and Mary Alice's first sets of children each lost a parent early; a son described Myles' children as being scattered, then brought back together. It may well be that the various reporters didn't actually know which set of children were which; and it may be that the reporters were using the term half sister loosely.
