Notes:

[*] "Canyon City, California" is probably a reference to Canon City, Colorado, which is in Fremont County where Martin and Nancy (Cooley) Bragg were living in 1885 (see 1885 census index - Bragg).

[**] Probably refers to this book: Betty Harrington and Dolly Bottens. Records of Jasper County, Missouri, Marriage Books A and B, 1841-1861; Brief County History; and Short Sketches of Early Settlers ([Carthage, Mo., 1969]).
