    Notes 
    • “Cissie Thrale”: Previously, this genealogy included a woman named Cissie Thrale as the daughter of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch. However, due to the absence of any supporting documentation, I have removed her from my records. It should be noted that there is documentary evidence of George Squires' marriage to Harriet Kate Sophia Thrale, which has been incorporated into this genealogy instead.

      In the past, I also listed a man named “Jack Thrale” as the son of William Thrale and Sophia McCulloch, with a spouse named Rose White. However, based on documented evidence, it appears that this individual may be our previously recorded John Thrale, who married Rosetta Wright instead. I have removed the apparent duplicate entry for John (previously listed as Jack) from this genealogy.

      The removal of these two individuals without supporting documentation is presented for future reference in case new evidence arises that confirms their existence.
