- The name appears as Waldron, not Wald in the Admon book.
- The date might be 1716 not 1718.
- There was a Richard Ward buried aged 10. No others known around this time.
- See also David, Ann Watkins.
- Perhaps the 1778 and the 1782 Sarah Wilkins are the same person. There are just two wills proved in 1774 and 1778. Some details differ from the tdlhs database.
