Notes
Death Notes:
According to the Biography of Julius O., he was the son of Lydia and Isaiah. However, the census of 1850 shows Isaiah married to Lydia's sister and Julius is only a few months old.
It is also interesting that Julia Wallace is listed in the household as well. Three Wallace sisters, what was the relationship Israel had with the Wallace family?
