Notes - LKH note: MHR gives the name of Riley Gilkison's wife as Harriet Smoot. However, the census records that I find for him and the children listed in those record match the information she gives with the exception of the name of the wife who is listed as Evaline in 1900 and as Matilda E. in 1910. In both the 1900 and 1920 census also in the household is Riley's mother-in-law, Martha L. Penlam (widow, b. Apr 1830, Kentucky).
