NOTES:
1) Her name is recorded as Sarah Evalyne or Sarah Evaline. But she is called "Evalyne".
2) Her mother's maiden name is mistaken sometimes for Schoomaker and Shoemaker, but the correct surname is Schermerhorn. It may have been Angelicized (need more research). Her death record lists her mother as "Rhonda Schoomaker" which is incorrect. It should have read "Rhoda Schermerhorn). The rest of the record is correct.
