• Notes

  Both Anda Regina and Dolley SLAUENWHITE were from the Blue rocks area, and had father's named Daniel. From the ZLL record, it seems clear that Anda's mother was named Abigail. There are three different records citing Dolley's mother, one a Church register entry, the second a civil marriage register entry, and the third an actual marriage record (i.e., a marriage slip). In the first, her mother seems to be given as “Maena”, in the second as “L. Baker”, and in the third as “Hermion Baker”, but all these given names are difficult read even though the surname “Baker” is unmistakable. It is extremely rare for a mother's maiden name to appear on a marriage slip. In this case, it reads “Daniel Slaunwhite x Hermion Baker”, and possible interpretations are: (1) “ux”; (2) an out-of-wedlock relationship; or, (3) an unusual way to record married parents.
