    • Notes: 
    • Mary Gawkroger-Platts's maiden name is also seen as Gawkroger or Platt.

      Some published sources speculate that Mary Gawkroger's parents were either a John Gawkroger or James and Martha (Ainsworth) Gawkroger. Mary Lovering Holman claimed in her Ancestry of Colonel John Harrington Stevens . . . (p. 61) that both of those claims have been proven wrong. Mary Holman states that her parents were probably Abraham and Martha (Riley) Gawkroger.
