• Notes

  Most information that people have gathered on William has him the son of Jacob Noftsinger and Elizabeth Dinius. However, with the marriage of Jacob Noftsinger and Elizabeth Dinius, this is not the case. Not to mention that William's death certificate names his mothers maiden name. Jacob was previously married to Elizabeth Gesaman who died on January 4, 1861. William was born on December 18, 1860. This indicates to me that William's mom most likely died from labor complications and it took 17 days for her to succumb to the complications due to labor. What a sad time for William's father. He not only lost his wife, but he had an infant to take care of as well. The 1870 & 1880 Census has William born in 1861.
