¹ The correction to this family's surname was provided by a visitor to our site whose message was of such interest that I am reproducing it in its entirety below:

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2004

Dear Mr. Carey,

Thank you for posting the "IDL" which has helped me fill in some gaps in my research. To my knowledge, I am not related to your family, although my ancestors also came from Rockbridge Co., Virginia, so who knows? My interest comes because I am a research assistant in the Department of Surgery at the Medical College of Ohio, and I am helping Dr. John Howard with a biography of Dr. Allen Oldfather Whipple. You may recogize Dr. Whipple's middle name, which was given in honor of his father's friend and fellow missionary in Persia, Rev. Jeremiah Oldfather, who married Felicia Narcissa Rice. Like Felicia, Dr. Whipple was also a descendant of the Allens of Virginia and of Shelby Co., KY, being the grandson of Rev. William Youel Allen.

I am writing to inform you of a correction that should be noted in the IDL. On page 64, in the list of the children of Felicia and Jeremiah Oldfather, it is stated that their third child, Helen Sidwell, married Rev. August Karl "Richardson." Helen's husband's surname was actually *Reischauer*. Possibly this name was not readable in the original records. This correction is especially important because August and Helen's son, Edwin O. Reischauer, had a distinguished career as a diplomat and scholar, and was the U.S. ambassador to Japan from 1961-1966. I have appended Britannica Online's article² about him to this e-mail. Ambassador Reischauer's daughter, Mrs. Ann Heinemann, has been very helpful to Dr. Howard in his research on the missionary families of Urumiah, Persia.

I would be happy to share additional information on this branch of the family if you are interested in adding it to your web site.

Sincerely yours,
