  • Some online sources incorrectly given Jenny Farish's middle name as Grant. Her tombstone gives her initial as B and her son's biography in Who's Who 1906-1907 states his mother's name as Jenny Brent Farish. Another son also gives her name as Jennie B. Farish in his Sons of the American Revolution application in 1921.
