  • Notes: 

  • Published sources give Samuel Bingham's given name as Lemuel. His marriage and death records state Samuel. An examination of a copy of the original handwritten marriage register clearly shows the name is Samuel and not a transcription error. However, other records show his name clearly as Lemuel.
