    Notes 
    • I've come to this conclusion for the existence of this family using the following evidence:

      1. The 1860 census has Septimius living in the household of William Wier and his wife Emily. The assumption would be that Septimius is probably Emily's father.
      2. Emily had a son George M. Weir/Wier, probably named for George Martin Staples, her probable brother and a daughter Lucy M. perhaps named for Lucy Miller, wife of her other probable brother, Amos Staples. She had another daughter named Susan, probably named for her mother.
      3. Amos Staples is living in the same house as George Martin Staples in 1853 in Hartford, both blacksmiths. Amos Staples had a son named George M. Staples and a daughter named Ellen, and another daughter named Sarah.
      4. George Martin Staples named one of his daughters Emily and another daughter Ellen.
      5. Louisa/Laura had a daughter named Ellen. Also, if Septimius is the son of Abel, Louisa/Laura had an aunt named Louisa/Laura.

      Amos, Lucy, Sarah and Laura are somewhat usual in this Staples line, however I haven't figured out why the preferences for George, Emily & Ellen.

      Niemann gives them several unnamed children as well as another Laura. It is possible that Laura born in 1810 was actually Louisa (see Laura for explanation).

      27 Nov 2018: Finally found proof that Septimius was George's father. George's New York City death record gives his father as "Septimous". [5]
