NOTES:
Joseph Leonard Reckard Senior
(son of -- Calvin Reckard and Huldah Leonard Reckard)
There has been much speculation as to the spelling of the surname RICKARD/RECORD/RECKARD. It has been claimed that Joseph Leonard spelled his name RECORD. It was spelled RECORD in the probate court's copy of Joseph Leonard's Will dated 3 June 1870.

Delilah Jennings Reckard
(daughter of -- Jonathan Jennings and Elizabeth Stephenson Jennings-Nixon)
Joseph Leonard Reckard Senior's wife Delilah's name, however, was spelled RECKARD in the court's copy of her Will dated 1 November 1881, signed with her mark "X" for she could not write her name.
