Notes - MHR note: I saw him on this 82nd birthday. He remembered his great uncle Levi Hedges visiting his grandmother, Sarah Hedges, a few time. Levi lived at a distance and would come on foot. He would stand no nonsense from the children around. Levi appeared to be about 65 years old at that time. His great uncle Jesse Hedges would also visit, but he rode a horse. That is all he can remember of Sarah's family.
