<ref group="note" name="fed1880">The [[1880 Federal Census | "United States Census, 1880,"]] list David's place of birth as Georgia, and his wife Sarah (profile | [[Sarah Altman's | wiki]]) as Connecticut. This is inconsistant with the 1850-1870 census and other family histories, and is probably a transcription error made by the census taker.</ref>
