Individual Notes
• Parents given as Anderson Arritt and Diana Sizer.578
• Parents given as Joseph Arritt and Diana Sizer.579
• Now about Floyd. I believe he was a child of Diana’s but not of Jacob’s. From the records I have found so far, when a child was illegitimate, they were bound. At least this has been my experience in Alleghany Co.
Unless there is information in the county records, there probably will never be a way to determine who Floyd’s father is.1927
• I still believe Floyd is Dianah’s illegitimate child but would certainly like to find a way of proving it, or proving otherwise.1925 I have my notes in a box with many other notes, about how long Dianah tried to collect child support from Jacob, when she started and when she stopped.1925
• He was a retired farmer and attended the Spiritual Science Church.2469
• Acquired land in Custer County, Nebraska in 1913.7386
