    • This citation is somewhat speculative since the surname was spelled "Wadkey", but his age, the list of his children, and the fact that he was listed just before his father and mother (as they were in the 1850 census), makes it reasonable that this Joseph and Mary E. Wadkey were, in fact, Joseph and Mary Elizabeth Watkins.
