!Note: It was unclear from Grandpa James A. Hotchkiss' notes whether William is really his given name, or he was looking for his records, and thought the name was either William or Alexander according to Scotish naming convention. In either case both of the parents in this couple died young after migrating to the US. Their daughter Jeannie and her husband Alexander Hotchkiss were left to raise at least one of the younger children.

!Source: Some of the children's birth years were calulated from dates of birth in the 1915 Census of Burlingame Kansas.
